Timberwolves vs. Mavericks schedule: Where to watch, NBA scores, game predictions, odds for NBA playoff series

The Dallas Mavericks used a late surge against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their Game 1 win and stole home-court advantage in the Western Conference finals. The Game 2 encore on Friday night should add to what has already been an incredibly exciting series. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving combined for 63 points in Game 1 as Doncic scorched Minnesota late with 15 fourth-quarter points.

Irving scored 24 of his 30 points in the first half, and the Mavericks got the win despite shooting 24% (6 for 25) on 3-pointers. For the Wolves, Anthony Edwards was limited to 19 points on 6-of-19 shooting while Jaden McDaniels had a team-high 24 points and knocked down six of his nine 3-point attempts.

The Mavericks scored their first Game 1 win under coach Jason Kidd, who had dropped his previous five playoff series openers. 

“We had to get this one — we are known for Game 1s that we lose,” said Doncic, who scored seven straight points over 63 seconds early in the fourth quarter to fuel a 13-0 run. “We’re trying to make a point, but that’s only one.”

Minnesota hosts Game 2 on Friday night and here’s everything you need to know.
