Dallas ages well

Boston burnishes its case

There felt a point in Game 3 when the Mavericks decided, we’re not really gonna let a rookie decide this, are we?

No offense to The Rookie, get well soon and all that, but also get some doughnuts for the veterans, soon.

Minnesota could not develop the froth in Game 3, the cornered animal jumped but nothing came of the attempt. Karl-Anthony Towns was particularly suspect, ten weeks removed from knee surgery, Anthony Edwards somewhat inconsistent, five years removed from high school prom.

These are the only Minnesota missteps Dallas cannot claim complete and utter ownership over.
