The work took edge of a somewhat off day for Anthony Edwards, who grimaced and labored his way to 19 points on 6- of- 16 shooting, though he likewise provided 11 rebounds and eight assists. The bigger problem was Karl- Anthony Towns going 6- of- 20 for 16 details, with some other Timberwolves standing out beside Jaden McDaniels ( 24 factors ).
Mavericks escaped a turbulent fourth quarter.
For the majority of the first three quarters, Minnesota was skewed, but Dallas responded with a 13-0 run in the fourth quarter to retake control. That soon evaporated via a 12- 1 Timberwolves run, punctuated by a Towns 3- pointer from way deep.

Following the Mavericks ' resumption of command, one of the most significant decisions occurred. Towns jumped on a missed 3-pointer and threw down an apparent game-tying putback dunk. The refs waved off the basket, though, calling offensive goaltending. The decision was reviewed and quickly confirmed, but the replay left some fans skeptical.
With the Mavericks still leading 104- 102 and a minute left, Dončić made another basket to take a two- possession lead. With a chance to tie the game, Minnesota did n't receive the ball.
