Gotta keep Kyrie's closeout game record going, so this is a must-win game.

I hope the Mavs play with more desperation than the Wolves like they're the one down 3 games. Win tonight and get that one week rest.

I don’t expect the Wolves to give up. I expect them to play well. It wouldn’t shock me to see Towns play his best game of the series tonight.
If Dallas has a 8-10 point lead entering the 4th. That is when it gets tricky for the wolves. Especially with their troubles in the fourth quarters this series.

Need these vibes tonight!
CLOSE THEM OUT!

Mavs have to come out swinging. Make the Wolves give up. Demoralize them. Keep the energy. They have to.
It's going to be supremely tough without Lively, but hopefully Maxi makes up some of that loss and he's feeling good.
I hope the bench of GreenExum/THJ/Hardy are all ready to shoot lights out. If they are hot and the flow is flowing they can make the Wolves want to give the hell up.

Jason Kidd said if Maxi Kleber plays tonight, the Mavericks will try to "ease him" back into the fold. He would be given "a three or four minute run" before discussing evaluating workload further, but he won't play 30+ minutes.

Luka Doncic and Maxi Kleber remain questionable and will be game-time decisions based on their warmup.
Dereck Lively II and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are out.

Okay, so what’s the deal with O-Max constantly being out?

Dwight Powell redemption game.

McDaniels opening up on Kyrie. Ant starting off on Luka, per reportd

Haha, good luck with that. They need more than this type of gimmick to win tonight.

If I was Kidd I'd run 3 straight post ups on Ant and see what happens.

Down 0-3, you've obviously got to try something--but that doesn't seem like a very good idea.

Mavs PR
@MavsPR
Luka Dončić (right knee sprain, left ankle soreness) and Maxi Kleber (right shoulder AC separation) will be AVAILABLE for Game 4 against the Timberwolves.
Dereck Lively II (neck sprain) and Olivier-Maxence Prosper (left ankle sprain) will be OUT.
RE: GAME 4 Playoffs 2024: Minnesota Timberwolves (0-3) vs. Dallas Mavericks (3-0) - The Jom - 05-28-2024
Prediction: KAT takes a cheap shot at Maxi’s shoulder.

LETS GO MAVS!

Refs are letting them play, apparently.
Decent start, particularly Luka.
RE: GAME 4 Playoffs 2024: Minnesota Timberwolves (0-3) vs. Dallas Mavericks (3-0) - donzingis38 - 05-28-2024
Powell already stressing me out. Can't even secure a simple offensive rebound.
RE: GAME 4 Playoffs 2024: Minnesota Timberwolves (0-3) vs. Dallas Mavericks (3-0) - Luka77 - 05-28-2024
Are the refs going to let the Mavs ride and body Ant like they are letting the wolves do to Luka?
RE: GAME 4 Playoffs 2024: Minnesota Timberwolves (0-3) vs. Dallas Mavericks (3-0) - LukaMVP - 05-28-2024
Powell ain't an NBA player no more.
