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

[Branduil]

They did hand this current version of the Mavs a loss post TDL. But it was very soon after the trades in the midst of that awful losing streak. 

Mavs actually kept it close until 5 mins left in the 3rd when they just went ice cold and Boston couldn't miss. 

I remember that game so well because I viewed it as a litmus test to see how close the Mavs were to winning a ring, and I was surprised at how competitive the game was until it wasn't. 

So yeah. Boston is scary as hell.

The Mavs were still starting Green and Lively at that point. DJJ only played 7 minutes, and Gafford only played 5(!). An informative game, but it doesn't really reflect the current Mavs lineup.
