Defeat of the Mavericks in game 1 of the Conference final in the West: 108-105 against the Timberwolves
In the playoff Nbathe Western Conference final opens with an immediate twist: dallasin fact, wins away and beats Minnesota 108-105, taking the lead 1-0. Balanced match decided only at the end by Kyrie Irving’s free throws (30 points at the end of the match), with the hosts unable to find the 108-108. Luka Doncic scores 33, Jaden McDaniels’ 24 and Anthony Edwards’ 19 are not enough for the Timberwolves.
The concept of field factor in these playoffs is truly relative and the rule is also confirmed in game 1 of the Western Conference final: Dallas, in fact, prevails 108-105 in Minnesota, scoring the 1-0 point . A very precious success because it comes at the end of a very balanced match with the Timberwolves ahead by 6 points (33-27) at the end of the first quarter, but the Mavericks always remain in contact (62-59 at halftime, 83-82 at 12 minutes from the end). From one set to the next, we reach 102-98 for the hosts and that’s when Luka Doncic, PJ Washington and Kyrie Irving emerge: the triples from the Slovenian and the former Charlotte player allow the Mavs to reach 104- 102, while the free throws of the former Cleveland and Brooklyn player are worth 108-104. Conley, again from the free throw line, has three available, but misses two and Minnesota isn’t even able to construct a triple in possible overtime. Of Dallas’ 108 points, 63 were scored by Luka Doncic (33) and Kyrie Irving (30), while only 14 came from the bench. McDaniels’ 24 and Edwards’ 19 are not enough for Minnesota. On the night between Friday and Saturday, again on the Timberwolves field, game 2 will take place with Ant-Man and his teammates immediately called to equalize the series so as not to go to Texas 2-0 down.
