5 keys for me: Ky plays bad again, Luka miss free throws at the end again, Derek doesn't play again, KAT hits another hot streak, Ant plays well... 3 are Mavs related. Mavs in 5.

[@AB-bx5to]

I feel like you cant really even blame luka for that free throw, the fact that he made the 3 and drew the foul was NUTS. He def should've made the free, but damn was it a good try by him.

Its not even all of them because we've won with these factors before. The only key thing is no lively.

[@CYMotorsport]

3:20 to KATs defense, the association has called this a “non basketball move” and considered foul baiting. Luka did this all game and the ref crew is not swallowing their whistle. If anything, it’s an offensive foul. But nonetheless I like the guy but that’s quintessential foul baiting. Specially “abnormal launch angle” they call it. Literally the NBA uses video examples of Luka specifically hahah

[@jesse11111]

Exactly. They were supposed to have cracked down on that a few years ago.

[@spellicup8297]

and the mavs are winning western conference finals games because of this among other things. The NBA has a horrible officiating issue that they refuse to address

[@georgeatte788]

When Luka played in Europe this would never be called for him. And I actually think it's a shocker to call it a foul.

[@dankmemer8182]

In my opinion there are 3 ways a team can come back from down 0-3. 1.)The losing team gets back a player(s) from injury and they play perfect. 2.)The winning team completely has a complete meltdown and sells or has an injury. The third and my opinion is which I think the Timber wolves can do 3.) The talent/skill gap between the teams is so small that if the series and conditions are correct the losing team can win. Let me give you an example. Say the winning team in the 3 wins is decided by a margin of 1 point. Meaning all 3 of the wins were 1 point victories(This is an extreme example but one nonetheless). If the losing team can manage to slightly tip the scales and perfectly create an advantage they are able to rattle off 4 straight wins. The reason it is near impossible to come back down from 0-3 is you have to sweep a team (4 straight wins) that almost nearly swept you. This is the angle in which I take my 3 reasons.

Absolutely, your analysis highlights the importance of both talent and strategic adjustments in overcoming a deficit like 0-3. Thanks for sharing it. :)
