The NBA's Western Conference finals got off to a dynamic start as the Dallas Mavericks took Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a Minneapolis thriller on Wednesday.
Entering the fourth quarter trailing 83-82, the Mavericks rallied behind 15 of Luka Doncic's team-high 33 points in the final period to pull out a 108-105 win.
The game was close throughout as neither Minnesota's Anthony Edwards nor Doncic found much consistency during the first half. Kyrie Irving poured in 24 points in the first half, however, to keep Dallas in the game, before Doncic found his footing over the final two quarters.
