With injured stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving back in the lineup and P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford obtained through trades, Dallas presents a much different look than the Wolves faced during the regular season.
If anyone played a drinking game with the term "pick and roll" during the media availability of Timberwolves coach Chris Finch, they would not have been of much use most of Tuesday afternoon.
Finch was underscoring how different a matchup the Dallas Mavericks would be beginning with Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Wednesday night at Target Center, and he appeared to have a new favorite term of the day.
