Dallas Mavericks vs MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES game 2
“I think Jaden was the only one who came ready to play (in Game 1), and I think everybody else let him down,” Edwards said. “So, I think if we bring our best brand of basketball on Friday, I think we’ll see what type of game it will be.”
Dallas once again will look for leadership from its top duo of Doncic and Irving. They accounted for 63 of the Mavericks’ 108 points on Wednesday with Doncic scoring 33 and Irving adding 30.
The Mavericks shot 49.4 percent (43 of 87) overall but only 24 percent (6 of 25) from 3-point range. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves shot 42.7 percent (38 of 89) from the field and 36.7 percent (18 of 49) from long distance.
Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said he does not want to see another discrepancy in which the Timberwolves make three times as many 3-pointers in Game 2.
“We’ve got to be better at the 3-point line,” Kidd said. “That wasn’t up to par again. They made a lot of corner 3s. We have to be better in our rotations, and then understanding with the 3s that they did make there in that first half, no one panicked. There was just a lot of trust.
“And that’s the great thing about our team is everyone trusts each other.”
Dallas is 5-2 on the road in the playoffs. Minnesota is 3-3 at home
