of Kyrie here for the next three to four minutes goar and Reed Conley and McDaniels and Alexander Walker that’s a go high here for goar and he was surrounded and it’s off his finger Irving driving hard into two kicks to Cleo three got it oh wow Clea did not look good at all shooting the three in game four 22 to1 Dallas run to start game five they shot 42% in game four tonight they’re shooting 64% inside connley off the for two a finish wely did a good job moving his feet there look how everything is difficult offensively look at joshh green all the way to the they are attacking at every choice they have inside 72 to start this second quarter you just wonder we heard a lot of talk from the Timberwolves after the game we didn’t want to get swept we didn’t want to get swept as if that was their only goal M Daniels gashes the defense with a drive Conley will take a three Reed flies out knocked it away saves the ball con with the Miss D just 54% from the stripe in this these playoffs in game seven at Denver Minnesota trailed by 20 in the they’ve struggled they’ve lost four their last five home games Irving notes his way into the paint against Alexander Walker and a foul iring in the regular year averaged 25 points in the first round against the Clippers 26 second round against we have seen it throughout this series and people you know we see on top radio they’re saying they’re not the best back court ever we’re not saying that luy for Jason kid to have Edward shot clot he’s doubled at seven out to re launches the three rely with the rebound well they’re blitzing every Anthony Edwards picking roll right now Irving surges into the paint Falls tipped it up and fouled um they’ll take it and give to Anderson who works into Clea an exim up there toh get that loose ball knocked and Jarred Away by Edwards and it’s Dallas the other way great job by exm to go up and get that Lively was in a wrestling match with goar trying to keep him off the glass Maxim has only played 12 minutes in this entire series good defense there by Edwards on Kyrie initially Irving on the move and through traffic wow what a play Oh goar caught back in the lane not up on the pick and roll we’ve seen it throughout the series that’s think uhoh it’s wely the screen to Irving back to Lively ends up in the corner clevela will take a move and he traveled Carl Anthony towns drives into Wy and scoots it home but look how difficult all the buckets are coming from Minnesota donic is in makes a move doubled on the play circles around G with an easy two he’s got 22 listen to you easy two struggle to at the other end yeah well I mean there go bar with was there and left to retreat back they just gave him the shot Edwards drives into a couple Defenders finds connley in the corner knocked away Jones back in towns retrieves and got it to go on the doorstep once again but to your point reg another struggle to get up a shot there for Minnesota Dallas during this little run 13 of 15 Lively up and off and shoved and fouled out of any kind he’s missed in this series towns drives right into Wy it’s the deck the Collision you saw the 22 points a game in the regular season 19 in the first round in the sweep over Phoenix 18 against the champion nuggets and in this series tonight he has been aggressive he hasn’t settled for threes he’s only taken one he is trying to be aggressive taking the playoffs reg he’s had six of them on the row Irving in the corner the three is launched no good by Jones saved by Gafford who seems to be all over over the place it’s off to donic he’s got 22 jousting with Anderson and over towns short rebound NS Reed Minnesota is a N3 run and I like their defense there initially you’ve got to make some of these other guys make shots Edwards bumping into Irving launching on The flly Gafford will inhale the rebound he’s got [Applause] four well look how High out there trapping him now Jones accelerates inside connley grabs the loose ball and Minnesota the other way ahead to Anderson kicks to Reed fakes the three the bump in Jones and retaken by Reed in the corner Edwards three rebound doic that would have been a big one yep Minnesota shooting 34% in the corner Jones triple Nails it five Point Swit there and Derek Jones has found his Corner stroke here over the last three ball games Edwards will go up against Kyrie Irving yeah that’s the first three Jones has made in this building in the series towns a fake could drive into Washington’s defense I like it and then again he’s been trying to do that most of the game to get his offense going and he has look five of eight from the field 12 points 12 points and 25 in game four in the win two put back in three drives and four actually counting the two free throws Washington had it defected there by Reed’s defense conly got the rebound Anderson read the Minnesota five good pass Anderson cutting edwardes 10 points for Edwards Aly what do you have well Kevin the Minnesota coaching staff being upset about the illegal screens is not new after offensive foul that they’re going to be looking for TS into Washington rebound donic Gafford just picked up his second foul moments ago we have a whist all game well Luca is and Kyrie both on fire and you’re down 16 at home H some stops here with your defense there’s another two silly fast played well at home but just overall Reggie you’re at home you figure if you can get this close at the line you know Sha’s going to have warrors with you at halftime for saying that Edwards Washington re of three Irving close rley couldn’t get the ball now he chases it down and gives it off to LCA donic who had 20 in the first quarter just two right now but the lead holding Dallas is led by as many as 23 Irving as the mismatch on Reed looking to go back and forth and find it open Washington in the corner who absolutely drills it another three and another guy who’s been struggling with that three-point shot and in this building he’s got seven Dallas is at seven threes Minnesota turnover donic four on three on the wing Kyrie will accelerate and knocked away and out of bounds Irving wide open two off the glass W these two guys just amazing aren’t they combined 34 points Irving and Don so far Edwards on top Jones the defense Jones doing a nice job but reach hand

  1. Edwards has been outplayed because he his too young, he had to shoot 3 pointers just like Doncic, One shot in response for another.

  2. Twolves are dead…don't deserve to win. Their energy all over the place. No focus. Dallas finishing them off quickly so they can rest & prepare for Celtics

  3. Twolves fans are the type to see their team lose all 4 games and say watch them still come back lmaooo😂😂😂

  4. As a fan i dont know what a foul is and i would advise players to dont give up on a play thinking the refs are calling a foul. Shoot the shot like you're planning on making it. If you get the whistle step up and take the free throw. It has to be demoralizing to know something is a foul and would be call if it wasn't the playoffs. Now all of a sudden before the game announcers are starting how long the ref been refn like just because they got 10/15 years or over 300 games ref it doesn't mean they're good ref tenure in no occupation makes you good actually working to be good wanting to be the best are key components

  5. Kyrie and Luka are the most dangerous offensive backcourt I've seen. Because neither has holes in their offense. They both require double teams at all times. Both can play on and off the ball. Klay and Steph wasn't like this. Klay was predominantly off the ball shooter. Ray Allen and Paul Peirce wasn't like this. Wade and LeBron was as close as it gets.

  6. i remember the twolves fans prefer mavs than okc coz theyre easier 🤣🤣🤣 gentleman sweep… lets see what the celtics fans will say

  7. It is unreal how terrible Gobert is. He's like a muppet out there Kyrie has won post ups against him at least twice and😂😂😂😂
