NBA playoffs: Luka Dončić, Mavericks power past Anthony Edwards to take a 3-0 lead over Timberwolves

Anthony Edwards turned it on in the second half on Sunday night in an attempt to keep the Minnesota Timberwolves’ season alive.

His run, though, came just a bit too late.

Luka Donu010diu0107 and the Dallas Mavericks, after largely shutting down Edwards and the Timberwolves early, held on down the stretch to claim a 116-107 win in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals at the American Airlines Center on Sunday. That pushed the Mavericks to a commanding 3-0 lead in the series, which now has them just a single win away from making their first NBA Finals appearance since 2011.
