The duo combined for 66 points in the victory.
In reverse fashion from the typical operations, Kyrie Irving got the Dallas Mavericks started and Luka Doncic played the part of a closer. That resulted in a 108-105 loss for the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals Wednesday night at Target Center in Minneapolis.
Doncic took over during the fourth quarter, making three straight buckets during a 13-0 Mavericks that eventually resulted in an eight-point Dallas lead. Doncic drilled back-to-back jumpers before hitting a 3 that gave the Mavericks a 91-89 lead with 9 minutes, 8 seconds remaining.The Mavericks' lead eventually ballooned to eight points before the Timberwolves answered with their own 10-1 run to retake the lead with just under five minutes remaining.
The Timberwolves led throughout the entire first half and most of the third quarter, and Jaden McDaniels got the Timberwolves going early, knocking down a trio of 3s during the first quarter on his way to 19 first-half points. He finished with 24 points and four rebounds.
