Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals is upon us, and the Dallas Mavericks remain just one win away from the NBA Finals entering Thursday’s matchup in Minnesota.
The Timberwolves kept their season alive with a win in Game 4 in Dallas, riding big-scoring games from Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards. However, the Wolves are still facing an uphill battle for the rest of the series as no team has ever erased a 3-0 series deficit in NBA history.
Despite that, Minnesota is favored in Game 5 at home, an interesting wrinkle after Dallas won the first two games of the series despite being a road underdog.
