Re: Around the NBA - Continuation... AND one!
The adjustment the Timberwolves made this game was making sure Kyrie and Luka were always in front of them, whereas in the previous games the Timberwolves' players were always having to defend Luka and Kyrie from behind after they beat them off the dribble or in pick and rolls which allowed them to draw fouls or throw the alley.

Minny played better true but Lively being out was the difference.

The way he was looking on the bench tonight didn't look promising for him to be available for game 5.
Man looked like he was wearing an invisible neck brace.

Re: Around the NBA - Continuation... AND one!
Finally got a good game from KAT and came away with the win. Usually a team down 3-0 has no chance but the Wolves lead in ALL 4 games with under 5 minutes to play so it is obvious that both teams are on a similar level. The Wolves are just too inexperienced and are not executing on the little things---silly fouls on 3 pointer, missed free throws, foul trouble etc.
I still think they'll take game 5 but I think Dallas is gonna win it in game 6 at home.

Team high +15
69% fg 80% from 3
Series doesn’t start until a team faces elimination so the other games don’t count, at all

Re: Around the NBA - Continuation... AND one!
Don't count out Minny just yet. If this was the return of KAT to normal playoff form than they can still make a real series out of it. If they win game 5, which they are capable of, things will get really dicey for game 6 in Dallas.
The Wolves pretty much choked away both home games against Dallas....they are due to win this one.

If Minny comes back and wins this series, Edwards will become the new face of the NBA

Re: Around the NBA - Continuation... AND one!
As much as DAL stars sucked, MIN still had to go out and take this game. And they did. Sometimes getting over that hump after failing repeatedly before is a huge weight lifted off the shoulders. IDK about 7 but why would anyone be surprised if it goes to 6 w/ the next game being at home
