Dallas Mavericks tightened their grip on the series with a hard-fought 116-107 victory in Game 3. A series rout at home in Game 4 will advance them to the finals for the first time since the 2011 championship-winning run. The effervescent duo of Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving once again delivered in the clutch, each getting 33 points to lead a decisive 12-3 run in the dying three minutes to seal the game. Doncic and Irving combined for 21 points in the fourth quarter alone, outscoring the entire Timberwolves team, and P.J. Washington contributed 16 points and 8 rebounds. The Dallas Mavericks recorded impressive shooting stats, connecting on 55.9% of their field goal attempts and 14 three-pointers to sneak past the line.

We need one more. Nothing's done yet. They have an amazing team. If we get one more, then we get a rest.

Luka Dončić

Anthony Edwards ended the game with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists but could not inspire the Minnesota Timberwolves offense to snatch a decisive victory in Dallas. The All-Star duo of Anthony Towns and Mike Conley couldn't help much, with Towns going 0-8 from the three-point-range for another uninspiring shooting night in the series. Edwards faded as the game wound down, failing to attempt more than three shots in the fourth quarter. With their star restricted, the Wolves' fight was squeezed out, and it seems the series is over for them, as no team has come back from 0-3 down in NBA playoffs history.

They tried to double me the whole game, they tried to double Kyrie. That just makes us better. Everybody touches the ball, everybody makes plays. That's what helps us win. We come down to the stretch, and we execute.
