2024 Playoffs- 3rd Round: Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks- MAVS WIN 4-1!

I agree with most of this, but I kind of feel like that was GREAT defensive game for the Mavs, especially considering it was the first game of the series. It was the first series of the Jason Kidd era where I felt the Mavs were more prepared for game 1 (both tactically and emotionally) than their opponent.

I think having a healthy Luka for a game 1 for a change was the biggest reason the Mavs looked as good as they did. 

But you're right, the Mavs looked prepared and came out with focus. I hope to see them carry those same vibes tonight. Especially since Minny is going to be giving it their all.
