DALLAS – The Timberwolves got a taste Monday of what life might be like with Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic now teamed together in the Western Conference. Irving couldn't miss in the fourth quarter, and he brought the Mavericks screaming back from what was a 26-point Wolves lead in the third quarter.
The Wolves tried hanging on for dear life in the fourth, and they made just enough plays late in the game to hang on for a 124-121 victory.
Doncic finished with 33 and Irving had 36, which included 24 in the fourth quarter.
