Powell, indeed, wreaking havoc on the offensive glass. Especially since Gobert went out with his second foul – 8:17 PM

Anthony Edwards picks up his third foul with 3:05 left in the first quarter. Finch was playing with a little fire leaving him in, and it was working. Now, Ant sits. – 8:01 PM

Ant gets it going here, Dallas looking helpless to guard him the last 3 possessions. – 7:55 PM

Kyrie proving a handful for the Wolves early. Doncic 1-for-5 to open the game. Rest of Dallas 5-for-6. Offensively Wolves have had some decent movement early. – 7:49 PM

Bad news for the Wolves: Kyrie is locked in early.
Good news: It’s not 17-2 to start, like it was last time they were here. – 7:48 PM

Dwight Powell starting for the injured Lively tonight for the Mavs. He had 14 boards off the bench the last time the Wolves and Mavs played. He always seems to bother Minnesota with his activity. – 7:39 PM

As amusing as it might be for non-Cowboys fans to root against the Cowboys, I would advise Fins/Bills/NYJ fans not to root for Washington now: A Commanders win against Dallas would give NE the second pick in the draft (presumably QB Drake Maye if QB Caleb Williams goes first). – 4:15 PM
