I went with the unpopular opinion and back the Dallas Mavericks when they had a 1-point lead towards the end of 3rd quarter, My sole reason for that was because of how Kyrie has been playing all night, and I believe if the Timberwolves have attempted way more 3 point and have knocked down significant number of it but still can get a decent separation, that could mean trouble is lurking around for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Congrats on your live Mavs bet, i'm surprised that the odds were a bit high at the time. The Timberwolves were close to building their lead by at least double digits before the second quarter ended, but the Mavs kept it together in the last few possessions. Then that back and forth during the fourth quarter with 3 minutes left made it feel like it could've gone either way, but the Mavs quickly brought it back with the double three-pointer while the Timberwolves couldn't get a bucket until the final minute.
They say the shot from the previous attempt was within the cylinder of the basket. So Towns dunk did not count which would of tied it with just over a minute and a half left in the game.
That was when Luka was on that 9-0 point run and counting that basket from Kat Towns would of switch that momentum the Mavs had to win the game.
Hard loss by Minnesota so hopefully they can comeback in tonight's game along with the Pacers who are at Boston.
I would agree with you, and it all went by so damn fast, Timberwolves had just lost their challenge a few possession prior, and with two minutes left on the clock, the least I expected from the official was to review the basket, I don't even know if they did and if they did that was so damn fast and I didn't hear any communication about it being reviewed. The refs ought to do better, it's the conference finals for crying out loud, and these marginals calls could make or mar a teams entire season, and one in a life time opportunity.
