THE RUB
The Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves will face off in Game 2 of the 2023-24 Western Conference Finals at Target Center on Friday night. The Mavericks secured a narrow 108-105 victory in the series opener on Wednesday.
Key to Dallas’s win was their dominance in the paint, outscoring Minnesota 62-38. Free throw shooting also played a crucial role, with Dallas hitting 16-17 (94.1%) from the line compared to Minnesota’s 11-18 (61.1%).
Luka Doncic led Dallas with a stellar 33-point, eight-assist, three-steal performance, while Kyrie Irving added 30 points. Anthony Edwards, coming off a draining Game 7 against the Nuggets, showed a lack of aggression, attempting only four shots from inside the arc and finishing with 19 points.
The Timberwolves have now lost three of their last four home games.
