Dallas Mavericks to play Minnesota Timberwolves in Western Conference Finals

The Dallas Mavericks will play the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals.

The Timberwolves came back to beat the defending champion Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday night.

Karl-Anthony Towns led the way for Minnesota, scoring 23 points.

The Mavs went 1-3 against the Timberwolves this regular season, but the team then was not the same team as they are now.

The last game between Dallas and Minnesota was January 31, days before the Mavericks made the trades for Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington that turned their season around.

The Mavericks and Timberwolves will start their series in Minnesota on Wednesday night.
