DALLAS — High-stakes playoff series are the ultimate mirror, the revelations a player can make with himself, and about his team, are laid bare.
And when we look into this playoff mirror, several things illuminate.
Like Jason Kidd being a championship-level coach, with no equivocation or second thought.
Like Luka Donu010diu0107 and Kyrie Irving being one of the most potent big-game duos we’ve seen in recent memory, now five wins away from the ultimate validation.
And more importantly, like the Minnesota Timberwolves, who see the harsh playoff lessons they must learn before they can become championship caliber.
