The Dallas Mavericks are on the brink of securing their spot in the NBA Finals as they face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a crucial Game 5 on Thursday night. With a 3-1 lead in the series, the Mavericks are looking to close it out, while the Timberwolves are fighting to stay alive.
Keyshawn Johnson, speaking on “Undisputed,” expressed his confidence in the Timberwolves, particularly highlighting the skills and determination of Anthony Edwards. Johnson believes that Edwards has what it takes to lead his team to victory, especially in high-pressure situations where he has consistently delivered.
However, the Mavericks may face a setback as big man Dereck Lively is listed as questionable for the game. His absence could create challenges for Dallas, especially in the paint where they rely on his presence for scoring and defense.
In Game 4, Edwards put up an impressive performance with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists. The Timberwolves will need him to continue his stellar play, supported by strong performances from Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns.
As the Mavericks aim to end the series, the Timberwolves are determined to extend it. Will Edwards and his team be able to rally and force a Game 6, or will the Mavericks seal the deal and advance to the NBA Finals? The stage is set for a thrilling showdown between these two teams.
