Dallas' Win Streak Continues

Game 4 Set for Tuesday
Game 4 of the series is set for Tuesday in Dallas. The Mavericks will be looking to take a 3-1 lead, while the Timberwolves will be looking to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole. The Mavericks have won five straight games, while the Timberwolves have lost three straight.
The Mavericks are the clear favorites to win the series, but the Timberwolves have shown that they can be a dangerous team. If they can get enough stops on defense, they have the firepower to beat Dallas. However, the Mavericks' offense has been too good to stop lately, and they will be tough to beat in front of their home crowd.
