Momentum Builds for Dallas Mavericks as Luka Doncic Inches Closer to 2024 NBA Finals!

In response to the somewhat lackluster performance in two home losses, Anthony Edwards “turned on the engine” in the second half of Game 3 in the hope of rescuing the sinking ship called the Minnesota Timberwolves.

While Edwards’s solo effort is impressive, beautiful and worth seeing, it is both late and insufficient.

In contrast to the praise and praise for the Dallas Mavericks stars, fans once again called out Karl-Anthony Towns’ name because this big man is “invisible”.

He had no impact at all on the Timberwolves’ offense in the first and second halves, including starting the game with 0-7 FG and 0-5 3PT before entering the break with only 5 points.

Thanks to Anthony Edwards’s shining performance in the third quarter, Minnesota was able to return to the game with a 13-3 scoreline, equalizing the match score at halftime.

“Ant Man” scored 10 of his total 26 points in the third quarter, including one of the most beautiful dunks in the 2024 NBA Playoffs over Daniel Gafford.

But this effort of Edwards was too lonely. He alone could not keep the Minnesota Timberwolves in the race with the Dallas Mavericks away from home. What’s more disastrous is that in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the “Wolves” only had one successful shot, which was a basket when the game was arranged by Edwards.

An unsuccessful attempt to carry the load helped Anthony Edwards almost achieve a triple-double with 26 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds. Mike Conley contributed 16 points. Karl-Anthony Towns finished Game 3 with 14 points and 11 rebounds, saying he was “unlucky” in this series.

As for the Dallas Mavericks, Luka Doncic led the way with 33 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Kyrie Irving is right behind with 33 points and 4 assists (12-20 FG). PJ Washington stood out with 16 points and 8 rebounds, including a 3-pointer in a 14-3 run at the end of the fourth quarter.
