The Mavericks defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 108:105 and moved to 1-0 in the “best of seven” semifinal series. The best thrower was Luka Doncic with 33 points.
The intense game saw 15 lead changes, but ultimately Doncic’s points and Kyrie Irving’s 30 points were the deciding factor. “We had to work really hard for this. But this is only one win, we need three more,” said Doncic. He also highlighted Irving’s performance: “Without him we would be finished. I had to help him in the second half, we switched roles this time.” Irving scored 24 points in the first half, the Slovenian scored 15 of his points in the final quarter.
