How Are Celtics Doing What The Timberwolves Could Not?

The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals in just five games, completely flipping the script on a Timberwolves team coming off a Game 7 victory against the defending champion Denver Nuggets.

Luka Donu010diu0107 and Kyrie Irving were able to completely dismantle the Timberwolves league-best defense while Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford were able to slow down Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns and the Wolves’ offense.

Through two games of the 2024 NBA finals, they have not been able to find nearly the same level of success as the Boston Celtics have taken a 2-0 series lead heading into Game 3 on Wednesday night in Dallas.
