You have to change that challenge rule! It's impossible to have 2 successful challenges and you won't be able to for the rest of the game! NO ANSWER

I'm sure these are the first games people focus on watching Luka Dončić play from the national level…
He's been a great isolation defender in 1-on-1 and post defense for a while.
The reform and aid side are areas of development but they can shut people down.

Matchup of Kyrie Irving vs Anthony Edwards will attract the whole series and decide. Kyrie played like he was on a mission to make sure the face of the NBA Torch came from his boy Luka Doncic. pic.twitter.com/IS6nQ858rC

Luka Doncic is one bad bleep-bleeper.

The best player in the world showed us that he is in a league of his own tonight. I went down with the Timberwolves in the clutch, what a special performance from Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving were extraordinary. Perfect take. Best players in game 1.

Doncic and Irving will get the headlines, but Gafford and especially Lively won that game for Dallas.

People don't want to hear this but suddenly Anthony Edwards has become the best player in the league. That doesn't mean he's good and we don't like him, we love him…….but the best player in this series is Luke by scoring the most points. It's debatable if Ant can match Kyrie.

Anthony Edwards was gassed in the fourth quarter, exhausted.
He wanted a Kyrie Irving matchup and Kyrie made him work all game, #11 had 30 points (52.2% FG).

Tonight, Anthony Edwards starred as a young Michael B. Jordan.
