Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Game 3 Highlights 1st QTR | May 26 | 2024 NBA West Finals

a little bit more our officials tonight the crew chief Tony Brothers he has uh tonight 2,000 NBA games under his belt referee Ben Taylor umpire Curtis Blair and away we go as donic on top the quick Blitz and off to Washington and Kyrie Irving against goar shot clock down to seven the drive the now Kyrie goes right at Rudy to start game three well if you’re going to Blitz which they did you’re going to be in rotation and that had to be Rudy goar’s rotation this is goar on top and Gord is on him and here it comes Edwards connley corner it’s towns driving on Washington he the Collision in mid flight The Gafford who is down in all fours it’s Irving the other way Gafford is up he’ll take his place and try to set a screen they quickly Blitz donic Inside gford Yes I always felt that they should have been blitzing with gaffard because he is not the playmaker that Derek Lively is when he gets the basketball not even close Edwards on top Washington there shot clock at six jabing is Edwards bear shot clock at three cutting Conley got it how about the pass there by Rudy go but you got to do a better job navigating that screen if you’re Dallas that low in the shot CL gford is in the corner and this is a three it’s Washington who puts it down he was only two of eight in game one he didn’t hit a three in game two yeah it came in shooting 177% from three in the series but he has shot the ball where well here in Dallas in the playoffs three he matches and it’s Minnesota by two well good start for Conley because you’ve got to have the guy who has the most playoff experience on your team for Minnesota Conley getting off to the right start here to set the toe doic go Bears on him McDaniels Hing with the blitz Corner Jones three so already the two guys who have struggled from that three-point line in this series Washington and Jones offed good starts from that three-point line and that’s of there’s a turnover donic loses his balance down he goes hitting the knee in a whistle and a foul and that I like the pass Luca made on that Blitz Reggie rather than giving the ball to Gafford and making him make the play Conley up there screen by Gafford it’s oneon-one free L I think go Bear’s got to stay up even though his guy slipped out of there just stay up in Blitz and’ now given up three straight threes I’m not quite sure how you guard that right I mean dude is shooting a 30 footer Edwards has Washington in front a go Bearer screen and a three missed it badly picked up by Washington two Road wins for the Mavs to begin the series long three Don cannot connect it’s a goar rebound and the outlet goes to Conley with the team Heat check right there from three Conley two of two it’s a three and a rebound by LCA donic who had 32 in game two and 33 in game one kesy defense by connley three from the corner it’s in up by Jones and there is a long shot which will not go from Kyrie Irving it’s Edwards 21 points in game two dancing here shimmies his way in the paint him taking 30 attempts he said even if he goes 5 for 30 at least he’s getting those up a slow start for him one of the things they’re doing to alleviate him of some of the exhaustion that we saw in game one is two is not starting him on Kyrie Irving they hope that helps but they know they can’t do that the whole game toic kicks it after he goes inside the shot clock at seven Conley is on Irving R just talked about this it’s a little short Hardley to wward here’s towns who plays better on the road statistically than he does at home he’s got Washington there he tried to curl shot clock at Six B Jarred away here comes the double team redwards now has one-onone with Washington and a FL DP that’s the definition of making something out of nothing because there was nothing there for Anthony Edwards Washington three B it out wely is in the game and he knocked it astray it’s loose oh they got Kyrie in a straight check and it’s picked up there by Conley already three turnovers towns rebound the leaping Washington the outlet goes to Irving three on two through traffic into the Rock C Lively’s got the ball kicks it out reset on top it’s Washington driving hard that’s backto back possession Derek Lively Off the Bench keeping balls alive in possessions for the Mavericks he and Gord coach have been terrific yeah the way that the Mavericks employ those two guys and just tag team them I beautiful shot by Edwards I love the action right there little swing action allow him to get the ball in transition and maybe to make a move there’s an opening for Washington in the corner for Jones and across the lane to right over go what a play by rookie Derek Lively wow look at Lively sting right on his head you see goar kind of acknowledging it as well he still hasn’t missed a shot in his series it’s 11 for 11 now Edwards tries to get by the traffic in the corner three McDaniels got it that’s huge remember McDaniels had that huge game one was solid from that three-point line struggled in game two with only one field goal yep one of six and 0 of three from deep that Ball’s kick were half all right we’ve got Josh Green coming in for the Mavs here is donic fighing right again boy that has worked almost every pass down low well again they were late on the rotation coming in that’s Anthony Edwards there you can’t miss that rotation when you know you are blitzing LCA Edwards exposed to the rim rejected Inside by rely with his defense Long Reach Conley’s on donic double but once again climbs the ladder what a start for rookie Derek lley he may never miss another shot again well he’s 14 for 13 now and he’s got two offensive rebounds on a block already here tonight he is being spoonfed by donic Edwards making a move on green shot now young second-year player jny Washington and [Applause] Lively it’s donon Chop Top working on the perimeter zipping one to green on top to Hardy and back to Luca and McDaniels on him goar will defend Hardy up and off leaping rebound down by Edwards Off to the Races McDaniels on the side he’ll shoot over doic it’s a good sign for McDaniels he’s at two in a row yeah it’s a great start for him he had been playing so well three straight games and then struggle in game two donic too easy and it doesn’t matter if you put a smaller guy a taller guy on Luca he’s just going to be able to create that that separation like you said Reggie last game he gets that shoulder into you so strong McDaniels it’s over Washington on the Baseline it’s so good start for McDaniels and good start for Edwards Daniels had three straight 20 point games then just two points in game two
