I honestly thought that with Minnesota winning game 4, they would have some huge momentum going back to homecourt and extending this series, but damn was I wrong. Dallas came out on a mission, Luka outscoring Minnesota by himself in the 1st qtr. They just controlled every facet of the game from that point on, and never looked back. Luka & Kyrie combined for 72 points, one of the best scoring backcourts we've ever seen will get to showcase their talents in The Finals against a great Boston team.

As for Minnesota, a breakout season that came up just short of their first ever Finals appearance. The great defense they displayed during the season, and in early rounds of the playoffs didn't hold too strong against a talented Dallas team. Anthony Edwards has officially arrived folks, he's the next big thing in the NBA and I for sure can't wait to watch his career unfold. A great season for Minnesota, a lot to learn from and build on for the future for them.
