The Mavericks beat the Timberwolves 116-107 during their last matchup on Sunday, which gave Dallas a commanding 3-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals. Heading into game 4, it is important to note that an NBA team has never won a playoff series after facing a 3-0 deficit. So, Minnesota will have to make history to reach the NBA Finals this year.

In the win, Dallas had great performances from their star players Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. Both players scored 33 points and shot 50% or better from the field, as neither of them could be stopped on the offensive end. They also made a few clutch shots in the fourth quarter to extend their lead and solidify their victory.

The Mavericks also had a high quality performance from forward P.J. Washington, who ended the night with 16 points and shot 5-10 from the field. This was his highest-scoring postseason performance since May 13 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he will try to carry that momentum into tonight’s game.

Minnesota has had numerous opportunities to win games in this series, but they have not been able to outperform Irving and Dončić. Specifically, Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns has not played well during this series.

Towns has shot 15-54 from the field against the Mavericks this postseason and 3-22 from beyond the arc. During the loss on Sunday, Towns was 0-8 from three point range and only scored 14 points. So, the Timberwolves will need him to step up drastically in tonight’s game 4 matchup.

Another key player for the Timberwolves is shooting guard Anthony Edwards, who scored 26 points on Sunday and shot nearly 50% from the field. This was his best offensive performance in the series, but it was not enough to overcome the high-powered Dallas offense. So, Edwards will need some offensive help during game 4 at home this evening.
