With nothing but respect in mind, the Dallas Mavericks want everyone to pump the brakes a little bit.
After Sunday’s 116-107 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals, the Mavs have a commanding 3-0 lead in their best-of-seven series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. No team has bounced back from such a deficit to win a best-of-seven series in the history of the NBA.
While the odds are obviously stacked in the Mavs’ favor that they’ll advance to the NBA Finals for the third time in franchise history, they have chosen to put up the caution flag.
