Chip NBA Playoff Money Game winner
(NBA) Dallas vs. Minnesota,
Point Spread: 5.50 | -108.00 Dallas (Away)
Result: Win
Dallas at Minnesota 8:30 ET
The Mavericks held off the Timberwolves for a 108-105 win in Wednesday's series opener. Minnesota led by four points with 3:37 to go, but Dallas took the lead with an 8-0 run. Dallas once again will look for leadership from its top duo of Doncic and Irving. They accounted for 63 of the Mavericks' 108 points on Wednesday with Doncic scoring 33 and Irving adding 30. Dallas is 5-2 on the road in the playoffs while Minnesota is 3-3 at home. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch conducted a film session with his players Thursday. He did not hold back as he showed the team's breakdowns in Game 1 and I expect improvement, but...take DALLAS!
