NEWS Desk Global
Four more wins. The Dallas Mavericks on Thursday reached the 2024 NBA Finals after routing the Minnesota Timberwolves 124-103 on the road. Doncic caught fire right out of the gates, finishing the first quarter with a stunning 20 points on 8 of 11 shooting as Dallas led 35-19. Then Kyrie Irving became dominant in the second, which pushed the lead to 69-40 at halftime.
Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns each led the Wolves with 12 points at the midway point, but the team just had no answers defensively for Dallas' backcourt.
The third quarter offered a little optimism for Minnesota after a late run, but Dallas erased the fire early into the fourth and held on comfortably.
