The Mavericks won Game 1 of a playoff series for the first time since 2021 on Wednesday night with a 108-105 victory over the Timberwolves in the 2024 Western Conference Finals.

Dallas was propelled by its dynamic duo of Luka Doncic (33 points, eight assists, six rebounds) and Kyrie Irving (30 points, five rebounds, four assists). The two seemingly took turns dominating the game with Irving doing most of his damage with a 24-point first half and Doncic taking on the role of closer with 15 points in the fourth quarter.

It was an odd game for Minnesota. Anthony Edwards deferred more than usual and finished with 19 points, 11 boards and eight assists. Karl-Anthony Towns had 16 points, but he only connected on six of his 20 field goal attempts. Jaden McDaniels was a bright spot for the Wolves, scoring a team-high 24 points on a 9-of-15 shooting effort (6-of-9 from downtown).

There were signs of the Timberwolves having played a Game 7 three days earlier, but the contest was a back-and-forth affair. How will they respond in Game 2 with the Mavericks seeking a 2-0 lead?
