DALLAS — The Minnesota Timberwolves dropped two home games to the Dallas Mavericks and now face the prospect of going down 0-3 should they lose Game 3 in Dallas on Sunday night. Here are three keys that could help turn the series around:
Unlock Anthony Edwards
Maybe that hard fall in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals against Denver is hurting more than he’s letting on. Maybe the altitude of this series is too high for the moment (he needed oxygen in the second half of Game 2 and admitted to fatigue in Game 1). Either way, Edwards hasn’t played to the level he established for the first two rounds.
