Timberwolves vs. Mavericks: Game 1

The first game of the Western Conference Finals will take place on Monday, June 3rd, at 8:30 pm TNT. The Timberwolves will have home-court advantage for the first two games of the series. The Mavericks have been one of the most consistent teams in the NBA this season, finishing the regular season with a record of 55-27. The Wolves have also been impressive, finishing the regular season with a record of 46-36.

Keys to the Series

The key to the series could be the play of Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns has been averaging 28.2 points and 10.7 rebounds per game this season. The Mavericks will need to find a way to slow down Towns in order to have a chance of winning the series. The Mavericks will also need to be able to hit their shots from beyond the arc. The Mavs are one of the best three-point shooting teams in the NBA, averaging 14.1 three-pointers per game. The Wolves have been good at defending the three-point line this season, but they will need to be even better against the Mavericks.
