Not to sound like a broken record, but Minnesota’s home performances in the playoffs have been confounding. After building an 18-point lead with just over three minutes left in the first half, the Timberwolves let the Mavericks come all the way back. Luka Doncic’s step-back three pointer with 3 seconds left gave Minnesota its fourth home loss in five games. With the Mavs up 2-0 the series moves to Dallas, which might be a relief for Minnesota.
In today’s newsletter, Jason is covering the Pacers chances with or without Tyrese Haliburton, and they aren’t good either way. Look for Pascal Siakam to carry the load for Indiana, but it likely won’t be enough. In MLB, Jack is tracking Walker Buehler’s road back and Bryce Harper’s opportunity to cause some damage after being ejected in the 1st inning yesterday. And in soccer, Sam is following Kylian Mbappe’s last game with PSG and the final week of the season in La Liga.
