Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving led the Dallas Mavericks to a 108-105 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, combining for 63 points.
Doncic’s 33 points, with 15 in the fourth quarter, and Irving’s 30 points, including 24 in the first half, were crucial in securing the win.
Despite efforts from Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, who scored a combined 35 points, the Mavericks’ defense limited the Timberwolves’ main scoring threats.
Dallas sealed the win with an 8-0 run late in the fourth quarter, highlighted by P.J. Washington’s three-pointer and a clutch jump shot from Doncic. Looking ahead to Game 2, both teams anticipate a tougher battle as they aim to gain momentum in the series.
