Stephen Noh @StephNoh
If the Mavs can close it out on Tuesday, gonna be a massive amount of rest for Luka’s knee. Finals start June 6th no matter what. – 10:59 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
File this under stats that feel wrong: before tonight, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving were a combined 11-of-29 from the field on clutch shots this postseason. It felt like they’d never missed. Tonight they didn’t. – 10:53 PM
Tony Mejia @MejiaDinero
Disappointed. Luka & Kyrie were better when it mattered most. Anthony Edwards isn’t great enough yet to elevate a team where Mike Conley & Kyle Anderson have his back most effectively, and his No. 2 no-shows. Everyone has games like KAT had, but it sucks when it’s on this stage. – 10:43 PM
David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
The playoffs are merciless. Minnesota has made so many mistakes – physical & mental – down the stretch of each game. Not getting the ball out of Luka’s hands; not getting Edwards the ball, not using timeouts when nothing was going offensively. Dallas has been better in crunch. – 10:43 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Through three games in this series:
Luke Doncic & Kyrie Irving:
181 points on 63-128 (49.2%) shooting overall, including 20-48 (41.6%) from 3.
Anthony Edwards & Karl-Anthony Towns:
111 points on 37-110 (33.6%) shooting, including 10-43 (23.3%) from 3.
There’s the series. – 10:39 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Final: Mavs 116, Wolves 107.
Dallas takes a commanding 3-0 lead over Minnesota with a statement win at home.
Reminder: No team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. Those teams are 154-0 in those series.
Luka Doncic: 33 pts, 7 rebs, 5 asts
Kyrie Irving: 33 pts – 10:39 PM
Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
Reggie Miller comparing Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to Mariano Rivera and Dennis Eckersley is pretty good. The two best closers remaining in the playoffs, and two of the best to ever do it. – 10:38 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Just exceptional basketball by the Mavs. Wolves being down 0-3 is a huge surprise, but peak Luka-Kyrie is a completely unstoppable duo. And how about Daniel Gafford?! – 10:38 PM
David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
The playoffs expose. Minnesota has made so many mistakes – physical, mental, schematic – down the stretch of each game this series. Not getting the ball out of Luka’s hands; not getting Edwards the ball, not using timeouts at key moments. Dallas has been better when it counts. – 10:37 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Mavericks stars Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic combine to score 21 of their 66 points in the fourth quarter to put the Timberwolves on the brink of elimination.
Per @ESPNStatsInfo, Doncic and Irving are the first starting backcourt to each score 30+ three times in a playoff run – 10:37 PM
Erik Slater @erikslater_
A series with the two best defensive teams in the playoffs was ultimately going to come down to the lead offensive duos:
Luka and Kyrie vs. Ant and Kat
That battle hasn’t been close. – 10:37 PM
Carl Steward @stewardsfolly
Never believed the Doncic-Irving alliance would work. But it has. And Jason Kidd may have a lot to do with that. – 10:37 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Luka and Kyrie amazing … but also Wolves crunch-time offense has been a bag of turds three straight games. – 10:36 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
That 1 second of Luka celebrating his dagger underhand pass before realizing he needed to play defense, then realizing a foul was called was awesome. All of the possible player emotions and thoughts in a blink. – 10:35 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Stan Van Gundy has been all over this for the entire second half, but it’s pretty wild Minnesota is just letting Luka Doncic cook everyone in isolation without doubling.
And then Luka makes a great play to force a tie-up on Ant, too. He’s been dominant. – 10:31 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
McDaniels said he wanted Luka on that part of the court on defense in a late-game situation if it happened again. Be careful what you wish for. Luka makes a wild stepback to go up 109-105. – 10:30 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Luka and Kyrie now have combined for 60 points. Mavericks are tied at 104 with 4:34 to go. Clutch time starts now and the Mavericks have been very good in those situations all season, and particularly lately. – 10:21 PM
Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
Dallas has hit a level in these playoffs where if it’s close last 3 mins, you just assume Luka will win it somehow. – 10:16 PM
Tim Cato @tim_cato
you know Luka and Kyrie know how important this fourth quarter is. Dallas won’t be able to rely on its defense like it has. it’s going to be up to those two. – 10:04 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
End of the 3rd quarter: Mavs 87, Wolves 87.
KAT gets a floater to go down, but Jaden Hardy connects on a tough layup to tie the game going into the fourth quarter.
Luka Doncic leads all scorers with 26 points. pic.twitter.com/T8TqJoTx8y – 10:03 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Wolves roar back. Tied at 87. Ant with 22-8-8, Karl has risen. Meanwhile, Luka and Kyrie are still cooking.
Wolves’ season in the next 12 minutes – 10:02 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Conley, McDaniels and Gobert are guarding Dallas’ three primary offensive weapons — Kyrie, Luka and Gafford/Lively — and they all are now on the bench with four fouls here in the 3rd quarter. – 9:59 PM
Haralabos Voulgaris @haralabob
Even if Minny is hesitant to put Luka in a ton of ball screens they can often get an open C&S 3 with the guy he’s guarding. He’s hesitant to close out – – 9:50 PM
Stephen Noh @StephNoh
To SVG’s point, the Wolves are not doing a good job of trying to get Luka switched onto Ant. When they do get that matchup, they’re letting him off the hook rather than having Ant attack him. pic.twitter.com/2Xy6H2AP5r – 9:39 PM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Mavs halfway to a 3-0 lead in the WCF with a 60-52 lead. A blistering 53.8% FG 10-21 3pt. Luka 15, Kyrie 14, Jones 11, but concern over Lively, who was kneed in the back of the head by KAT & had to leave the game. No word on his condtiion. 2nd half soon @theeagledallas – 9:24 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
The other day @JonKrawczynski pointed out the differential in this series between Luka/Kai and Ant/KAT
It was the same thing in Clippers-Mavs series, but Harden/PG had volume issues (esp. at the end)
Ant and KAT are putting volume up, their efficiency is simply dreadful – 9:21 PM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Dallas 60, Minnesota 52 at the half. ‘Wolves fortunate to be within eight. Doncic, Irving and Jones in double figures for the Mavs. Gafford picked up a sloppy third foul at the end of the second that could be important with Lively out. – 9:12 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
60-52 at the half and it feels like a 20 point deficit. Luka and Kyrie combining for 29. Wolves struggling all around – 9:12 PM
Zach Kram @zachkram
Through 2.5 games in the conference finals:
Luka/Kyrie vs. Edwards/KAT: Dallas +56
Everyone else: Minnesota +44
Edwards and KAT have 88 points on 27/90 shooting (30%) in the series so far. – 9:12 PM
Kenny Beecham @KOT4Q
If you blitz, Kyrie is getting around the corner
If you drop, Kyrie is gonna pull up and hit the shot
If you use the nearest defender to tag, its a Luka 3
There is no answer for this – 9:12 PM
Michael C. Wright @mikecwright
Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are a combined 6-of-15. Rest of the Mavs are 11-of-14. That supporting cast will hurt’cha ma’ane. – 9:03 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
That was the second time in a matter of like 10 seconds that Gobert and Doncic got tangled up. You can tell Luka’s getting tired of it. – 8:56 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
The Wolves trail 33-28 after 1Q and the gap would be a lot larger if not for some strong minutes from Kyle Anderson to end the Q. Anthony Edwards vowed to be aggressive, and he has been: 9 pts on 3-for-6 shooting, 3-for-4 FTs, 3 ast, 2 reb, 1 to. Luka leads DAL w/ 8 pts. – 8:36 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
End of the 1st quarter: #Mavs 33, #Wolves 28.
Doncic: 8 pts, 1 reb, 2 asts (3-6 FG; 2-4 3PT)
Irving: 7 pts, 1 ast
Lively: 6 pts, 3 rebs, 1 ast (3-3 FG) – 8:34 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
McDaniels pleading with officials during the break to watch Luka’s off arm with the push-off. Highly doubt that will get called much. – 8:27 PM
Mark Followill @MFollowill
Luka Doncic was listed as questionable and went through his pregame warm-up routine before being declared available for tonight’s Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. Jason Kidd characterized the issue as “soreness” and not a setback. – 7:19 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Jason Kidd says Luka is questionable and will go through pregame workout and see how things feel. – 6:29 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Jason Kidd says Luka Doncic remains questionable and his status for Game 3 will be determined after his warmup. “I wouldn’t say setback — soreness,” Kidd said regarding Doncic’s sprained right knee. – 6:18 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Luka Doncic is questionable tonight, Jason Kidd said it’s “soreness” and that he’ll go through warmups – 6:18 PM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Jason Kidd says Luka Doncic has “soreness” and is questionable for Game 3. Kidd says the team will see how Doncic warms up. – 6:18 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Luka Doncic is questionable for Game 3, per Jason Kidd. Says there’s no setback, just soreness. – 6:18 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Jason Kidd says Luka Doncic is questionable for Game 3. Will go through his pregame routine to see if he can play. – 6:18 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Jaden McDaniels explained the face he made after the defensive switch the Wolves made in Game 2, just before Luka Doncic hit the go-head 3 on Rudy Gobert: pic.twitter.com/LXv4lHgSY2 – 2:27 PM
Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
Fascinating Ant game tonight. In general home court matters less in 2024. Minn’s a good road team. 5-1 playoffs, 26-15 in season. They led G1 w/ 2:00 left, led G2 by 5 w/ 90 secs left. They need someone to match offense w/ Luka late… and it’s Ant or bust. He’s gotta know it too. – 1:42 PM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Lost in the drama of Luka’s Game 2 game winner was that it was his 1st ever Triple-Double vs MIN, the only vs whom he had never had one (playoff or reg season). Is a repeat in the cards in Game 3? @KevinGraySports pre at 6:30. Tip w/Brad & me at 7:05 97.1 @theeagledallas – 12:12 PM
Sirius XM NBA @SiriusXMNBA
The Dallas Mavericks go into Game 3 tonight with a 2-0 series lead thanks to Luka Dončić’s clutch heroics!
Longtime NBA PF @TajGibson tells @TheJaxShow and @DarthAmin he loved everything about that play from Luka. pic.twitter.com/NoxNhZQmCY – 11:40 AM
