NBA: The Minnesota Timberwolves have avoided a Western Conference Finals narrowly beating the Mavericks in Dallas.
Australian duo Josh Green and Dante Exum will be playing for an NBA championship after the Dallas Mavericks humiliated the Minnesota Timberwolves on their own court.
Meanwhile, Irving once again proved himself the dependable co-star the Mavs hoped he would be when they traded for him, scoring 36 points after averaging 27.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists in the series. That was despite the game being tied up at 18-18 halfway through the opening period, with Dallas ending the quarter on a 17-1 run as the Timberwolves struggled to get anything going.
With that in mind, it was Irving’s turn to take over as the Mavericks guard scored six points to go with an assist in the opening three minutes of the quarter before Doncic checked back in. Exum, meanwhile, at one point hustled for a crucial defensive rebound, although there was little he could do when Edwards made him touch earth on a stepback 3.
First, Edwards missed a 3-pointer which would have had the Timberwolves only trailing 49-35 midway through the second quarter, with Derrick Jones Jr. making a triple on the next possession.
