No NBA team has ever come back from 3-0 down to win a series, but the Minnesota Timberwolves took the first step on Tuesday. Now, the Timberwolves are favored at home to send the series back to Dallas.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance. Of course, Dallas is still a massive favorite to win the series, but there’s at least a glimmer of hope for Minnesota. A Timberwolves win at home in Thursday’s Game 5 would put the pressure on Dallas to win the Mavericks’ last home game of the series in Game 6.
Every game this series has gone down to the wire. Minnesota is capable of making this feel like a series again, but four in a row from 3-0 down has never happened. Boston came back from 3-0 down in the Eastern Conference finals last year against Miami, but then lost the decisive Game 7 by a lopsided margin. In that series, once Boston got back home, it felt like the Celtics were going to advance, but that shows how hard it is to win four in a row in the playoffs.
If Edwards and Towns play well, Minnesota is capable of beating this Dallas team. Minnesota has two of the remaining three potential games in this series at home. However, home court hasn’t meant much this postseason; home teams are 16-17 in the second round and conference finals combined.
The Timberwolves are favored to win Game 5 but likely wouldn’t be favored in Dallas. The most likely series outcome, according to BetMGM’s odds, is Dallas winning in six games (+155). The Mavs are +165 to win tonight, giving Dallas in five or Dallas in six similar odds. Those implied odds give Minnesota a nearly 1-in-4 chance to extend the series to seven games.
Here's hoping that they can replicate the magic again on Thursday night in MSP. #WOLVESBACK
