MINNEAPOLIS — After previously losing every Game 1 of their postseason run, the Dallas Mavericks overcame a passionate crowd at Target Center to achieve a 108-1
. Luka Doncic finished with 33 points, eight assists, and six rebounds, with important plays down the stretch, while Kyrie Irving was essential with a hot start, totaling 30 points, five rebounds, and four assists.
After Edwards hit a pull-up 3-pointer in transition against Green, the Timberwolves took a 21-12 advantage, establishing their largest lead of the period. Minnesota had a hot start from beyond the arc in the opening period, shooting 6-11 , while Dallas shot 1-7 . Irving quickly propelled the Mavericks back into the mix, using a 12-0 run to take a 23-21 edge. Minnesota had a strong close to the first period, outscoring Dallas 10-6 to retake the lead.
The significant disparity in perimeter shooting and unforced errors leading to turnovers by the Mavericks proved to be significant swing factors in the Timberwolves' favor in the opening half. Regardless, Dallas still outscored Minnesota in the second quarter and trailed only 62-59 at the break, placing them in a favorable position after settling into the game.
Perimeter shooting continued to go in Minnesota's favor to this point. Doncic had a clean look from the wing after orchestrating Stack pick-and-roll but missed, then Conley hit a 3-pointer on the other end. Doncic attacked downhill more, including drawing a foul after McDaniels hit his arm trying to stunt, then snaked his way to the paint for a jumper.
