Minnesota Timberwolves hold on to beat the Dallas Mavericks despite giving back huge lead
The Minnesota Timberwolves held on to beat the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day despite building a 28-point lead and giving most of it back. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down how the Wolves built their commanding lead — and how they almost allowed it to slip away. Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert were key when it came to building the lead, and while Anthony Edwards hit a huge shot down the stretch, he was a primary culprit when it came to seeing the lead disappear.

A win is a win. But the team still has the issues exposed in the losing streak.
It is not natural for a liability on offense to be engaged defensively when he is touching the ball. Imagine Rudy pulling this stuff with Curry, Lebron or Durant 😂. He would be traded so quick.
Ant was initiating the offense for the first half and not much Conley. This is what needs to happen for this offense to go. If ant starts playing iso ball then flip back to Conley.
Criss Finch really should be fired he is a terrible coach it's all on him and Mike Conley they have killed this team !!!!!
Not sure what Finch was doing during that run. All iso ball and no set plays. Sadly, this isnt the first time its happened especially In clutch situations
Kevin Durant
Zach lavine should we trade for
Trae Young any of these players
Lori markkanan
Brandon Ingram
Zion Williamson
Lonzo ball
Kyle kuzma
I like ISO Randle who looks to pass. The drive/kick-out philosophy worked well this game.
No. You’re wrong. Ant did all that heavy iso stuff in the 3rd and going into the 4th the wolves were up by 21. The bench let the lead get down because when ant got back in the game we were up 8. Then he did more iso stuff yea but they didn’t get BACK into the game because of the isos they got back in the game well before ant came back in
I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
As a Knick fan I’ve tuned into more Twolves games this year. I think Conley is a backup pg at 37 years of age and McDaniels should honestly be taking the next leap and scoring Atleast 15 points a game. There’s games your going to love Julius and games you will hate him lol
