GET UP | Wolves in 7 – Brian Windhorst on Karl-Anthony Towns & Anthony Edwards outlast Mavs 105-100
now will come on what are you looking at me like that for no just the first family it’s it’s a great point it is the first family of the NBA the Celtics are the C’s they’re catching some z’s UD is here he’s ready to go Allan and Jay will Wendy is up early once again in Dallas and that was the scene last night oh what a game four of the Western Conference Finals Luca donic and the Mavericks looking to put it away ant and Company looking to keep it alive and keep their season going oh we got Cowboys royalty in the house that Mah he’s watching fourth quarter wolves up as they always are and then the the Mavericks coming back as they always do yeah Luka just really good at always seeing the floor and keeping his head up I mean just one of his double digit assists in this ball game a spectacular pass to Derek Jones Jr and then we’re doing it again it’s defense causing offense and UD has anyone ever scored in this situation better than Kyrie at all he can do it with either hand downhill he can get whatever shot he wants a onepoint game so they’re right back in it here we go seven minutes to go Mavs down three how many big shots does PJ Washington make fourth quarter is his time he doesn’t make a lot but when he does it’s usually big so we’re tied at 86 speaking of Big Carl Anthony towns the subject of so much criticism in this series Jay the big shots in the fourth quarter yeah just able to knock down three-point shots and also good yo shout out to slow-mo Kyle Anderson who made all these plays happen he’s not just making threes he’s making big threes in this game what a good game this is that’s Kyrie to Daniel Gafford it’s a three-point game a minute later still a three-point margin Carl Anthony towns would score 20 of his 25 Allen in the second half that’s why you put up 1500 shots in practice every day that’s why two minutes to play wolves up six Jay will how about this move footwork classic I mean look he was able to knock down the mid Ray’s jumper and that was critical to his game Kyrie working inside left come on man come on man he SC 16 ensuing possession good screen screen screen The Twist Whenever there was a question ant had an answer 29 Points 10 boards nine assists wolves up six back we go the other way whatever you do don’t foul him on the three well he didn’t foul him great acting job by Luca great acting job by now make the free throw it’s a two-point game just make the free throw Luca just make the free throw oh he missed the free throw had a feeling still a three-point game so here we go 13 seconds to go Minnesota bounding they need to get it in look at this play Nas Reed we’re going to break that play down for you a little bit later in this hour that’s the one that ices it Luca and Kyrie combined for just 37 Minnesota’s big two has life late in that fourth because cat and Jaden was knocking them down I was able to just get anywhere I wanted and whether I miss it or make it I can live with that and um I haven’t been doing that the last three games of of this series I’ve been going to the corner and not shooting the ball and not being aggressive and um yeah that won’t happen anymore anytime late in the fourth I’m going to shoot it every time I tell you about five what you mean you had five but I didn’t file out filed out I get what I need I’mma beat him up on the bus y’all get out of here don’t believe that I like it when in their press conferences they forget other people are listening and they just start having conversations with each other we hadm miss that because we hadn’t seen it yet in this series again Wendy is up with us earlier but Jay will give me the five biggest reason Minnesota season is still alive cat cat cat cat cat this is like Chappelle’s World who’s the greatest rapper of all timeon diine diine diine diine right this is called Anthony towns people and by the way this is why Anthony Edwards was able to do his thing is because cat did not settle for three-point shots he’s been horrific in the first three games settling for a lot of outside jumpers his first seven buckets were at the rim and that’s what you wanted him to do he found that three-point shooting in the second half but when Batman has his Robin they are a different team cuz they both came to the party to play you and what does it say about a guy the criticism was everywhere he couldn’t avoid 1500 shots a day that whole thing look a lot of it is Justified when you’re a great player a lot is expected when you don’t play up to your standards there’s going to be criticism what does it say to you about him that in that spot on the road he played that game I mean is his ultimate professional that he believes in himself and he puts the work in behind the scenes when you put the work in behind the scenes it doesn’t matter what anybody thinks it doesn’t matter how many shots you miss you make you oh oh good hands good good hands right good hands you you know you’re going to make shots at some point your teammates believe in you they’re finding you uh they’re setting screens for you to get open shots and critical moments he’s getting to the basket he’s scoring from all three levels he was himself last night yeah again it’s it’s it’s also shows you how much Anthony Edwards believes in him and trusts in him as well because he has been encouraging with him it’s a young player and for col Anthony towns just still he hasn’t gone this deep yet into a playoff run this is a new experience for him too so all the criticism of him fading or him not coming up big when it matters most he’s got to learn through this as well you got to give him credit for staying confident but I also believe his teammates for staying confident in him Wiman you’re there obviously you’re there on the off days you’ve heard all the criticism you’ve seen it you know the players involved give us your thoughts on Carl Anthony towns in his performance last night yeah I spent some time talking to Carl’s dad Carl senior last night and Carl after the game and I said what were these last 24 hours like where you’re just getting destroyed everywhere people are seizing on that 1500 shot thing and you know they said that they kept their good cheer You Know Carl spent uh what was it Monday night you know sort of laughing and joking having fun not worrying about the situation and really decided to come with a different mindset in this game which was an attack mindset okay his three-point shot wasn’t falling go to the basket and boy he did guys 13 drives in this game more drives than any other Playoff game in his career he didn’t take a three-pointer at all until halfway through the third quarter but once he loosened up the inter interior by driving they backed a little bit off him on the perimeter ended up hitting four threes down the stretch and obviously changed the direction of the series so he he’s a huge factor in all of this Edwards had another terrific game what else win man you were there and you were telling us this morning you give a lot of credit to Minnesota’s coach for the way they went at it last night yeah Chris Finch digging into the bottom of the barrel going with a completely different defensive lineup I mean they were worried about ant Edwards energy going down the stretch of these games well they threw it all to the wind because they put ant on Luca donic he was a primary defender on that Beast of a of a guy who they can’t really slow down he defended him for 36 possessions um on Tuesday night uh an held to five of 15 shooting when he was the direct Defender that put Jaden McDaniels who’s a much bigger Defender onto Kyrie Irving slowed Kyrie Irving down and then down the stretch of the game they doubl down on ant’s energy they put the ball in his hands on offense Mike Conley was the offguard ant Edwards played point guard on defense and point guard on offense he had nine assists in the second half he’s never had nine assists in a half in his career and so he was a playmaker down the stretch largely to Carl towns and that was the difference in this game UD D you use the word efficiency this morning in our meeting a lot I’m just looking at the numbers here Kyrie and Luca combined to shoot 13 of 39 last night so while the you know the big picture numbers going to look good Luca has a triple double the reality is the defense worked yes yes the defense worked the adjustment putting Jaden Daniels on Kyrie we know how great Kyrie with the ball in his hands but you can somewhat eliminate that with length and athleticism with a guy like Jaden Daniels so I think that was the big difference if you look at it Luca still had a triple double even though he wasn’t as ficient he still and he says the bar so high czy said it he still had a triple double but he wasn’t efficient but I think Kyrie being taken out of this game was the difference because of the coers the Stars the way they Clos the game What’s the difference the last couple games and they were able to eliminate that well Kyrie came into this game averaging 28 points on 52% shooting okay he has 16 points on 33% shooting and also this team in Minnesota refused to settle y’all right refus to settle like they’ve been averaging 37 threes shout out to himbo on this averaging 37 threes per game they only shot 24 in this game they shot 52s you play inside out instead of outside in that was one of the key factors and so I want to go back and Kyrie by the way last night 16 points on 18 shots so the defense definitively was a Factor last night as Wendy points out I remember after game one of the Eastern Conference Finals you used a term that I liked and and and then Tyree halberton got hurt and that was sort of the end of that but you said Indiana’s live is Minnesota now with a win and headed home are they live in this series no I I I don’t think they’re live I mean I I think Dallas you’re crazy I’ll be crazy like like this series is not this Series has not been that far apart yes and you can make the argument that in the first three games Minnesota gave those games away they I’m not asking you to make the argument I’m asking you to believe your argument are you telling me that come back from being down we saw last night was what I expected for a good six or seven games I did not expect this to be three nobody did Minnesota didn’t I don’t think Dallas did yeah I think Dallas was like damn we’re up 3 0 like they didn’t even expect this but they are but that doesn’t mean this series is over just because the history tells us nobody comes back from 3 just somebody has to and if anybody’s going to it’s a team that is built on the way Minnesota has played to say I’m going to say you do Kyrie before the game was like yeah this is their Super Bowl this is just like another game for us so I think the mentality was like yeah that’s what Kyrie said literally I’m tell you no that’s what Kyrie said I think the mentality was more like well we got four more to close this out I think you’ll see a different Dallas team next time around okay they money on it you got to close money on I’m with it how much I’m with it I don’t know how much I’m retired retired got it like I used to which part of that is cap the cap about Kyrie saying that um oh this is a Super Bowl and it’s just another game or whatever you said he said hell no you want to win that game you want to close out you do not want to give a team another opportunity especially when it’s that close of margin down the stretch and you have guys like cat and ant who haven’t outplayed the guys who they’re very capable out how they outplayed them once you give these young guys confidence you give the Thunder Cat some confidence now going back home you where where the I think I think Dallas is in a little more trouble than they want to admit there’s three games left in the series yes and I’m not saying the series is over but they’re in more trouble than they want to admit three games left where are two of them oh Minnesota minesa that’s the point and let’s illustrate just how close these games have been through the first four games of this series the total margin of Victory is 18 combined points this is the first Conference Final with each of the first four games being decided by single digits in 13 years so I mean it’s just that close and they are going home do you take I I I just trust don’t ask us do we believe do you believe I do I believe I believe the series I still believe the series I still believe Dallas going to be in a championship game I still believe I have more trust in luuka and Kyrie down the stretch to execute more so than I have administ here’s what I would bet you here’s what I would bet you I would bet you a whole bunch of ud’s money that there will be a game six in this series that Dallas Dallas will go home having to to to to that you know when you’re up three nothing look you saw it last year you lived it last year up three nothing and then Boston wins a game and then suddenly they win another game and now the pressure starts to compound I think I think we will find ourselves there this weekend what happens at that point I don’t know the stars have just shined brighter for Dallas now the SH now it has shifted the Stars finally shined brighter for Minnesota last night what happens next what is going to be the adjustment all all I’m saying is do you have Dallas winning this series uh no I mean no no no wait wait wait do you have Dallas winning the series do you have Dallas win you have Dallas win the series I had him in Grinny do you have Dallas so the series is over thank you that’s my point is over okay I tell you what I tell you what if it if it goes to game six if it goes to game six I’m go with Minnesota okay now we’re if they get if they get one more win if they get one more win I’m taking a Thunder Cat what I need to hear and you know what that just me young thundat means three words for

The longer this series goes the more it's gonna benefit the Celtics.

It’s over tomorrow bro. Not a mavs fan. I just think Luka and kyrie gonna play in god mode.
The NBA had to push it a little longer because it was 9 days from yesterday to the Finals, without making money off of the NBA
