When You CONFRONT Kyrie, But It BACKFIRES Badly...

Join me on RateGame: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6477869711?pt=126905374&ct=Heat%20Check%201&mt=8 Things completely backfired on Anthony Edwards as he woke up the sleeping giant and Kyrie went crazy on him. However things started off great for Ant and Minnesota. As they came out shooting lights out to start the game led by Jaden Mcdaniels who went 3 for 3 in the opening quarter. And when Edwards did this, I got flashbacks of those Denver blowouts… Already a 9 point lead and the momentum on Minnesota’s side. And with buckets like this ultra slow motion three pointer, as well as…whatever this is, both by Kyle Anderson of course, I wouldn’t blame Dalas if they got demoralized early on. But the Mavs did not panic, as they had the ultra aggressive version of Kyrie Irving going at Edwards and blowing past him for 13 points in the first. Luka had Mcdaniels on him, and he was able to exploit the matchup and operate in the pick and roll, to get to his spot and knock it down. The Mavs were able to weather the storm early on and make it a back and forth battle. Thing is, with all the focus defensively being on the main guys from Minnesota, Mcdaniels and Anderson continued to boost the Timberwolves offense. And things started escalating again with this… But once again, with a 9 point deficit facing his team, Kyrie again comes to the rescue. Irving had 24 points in the first half on 11 for 14 from the field, absolutely zooming past Edwards and the defense all the way to the rim. In the second half, Luka and Kyrie looked to attack from the pick and roll and created for themselves, but also got the big man involved. Dallas scored a modest 23 points on 43% from the field, but they were able to limit the home team to 21 points on a bad 33% shooting. Some of it was great defensive effort by the Mavs, but admittedly, they got lucky on a few possessions as the Timberwolves missed some open shots. By the end of the third quarter, Edwards had only 13 points on 4 for 12. And him having to run around all over the court and chase Kyrie might have had something to do with it. He seemed exhausted at times, which forced him to settle for some shots and not put pressure on the defense. He would even stand way back at times, not participating in the offense to catch his breath. In the meantime, as the 4th quarter came around, Doncic continued his onslaught in the pick and roll. Doncic scored 15 points in the final period, and with the help from the role players, they took control in the final minutes. But then, Edwards and the Timberwolves finally woke up and started hitting shots, to cut into the 9 point deficit. And the arena completely exploded when they took over the lead. And just like that, this became a shootout… And in a crucial possession with a minute to go, the Mavs played perfect defense with Doncic making a huge play. What a save by Luka stunting at the drive and getting back to intercept the pass that would have certainly led to the alley oop dunk and the tie. This sets up Luka with the isolation in the clutch, and… LUKA 0:49 (VIDI I REPRIZA ZA FILLER) Wooow the patented stepback to give Dallas a 4 point lead, bringing them extremely close to the win. All the Mavs need now is just 1 final stop, and they initially get the miss, but Naz Reid tips it back in to keep the thriller going. There is still hope for Minnesota, if Kyrie misses 1 of these 2 free throws, but he stays ice cold knocking down both, and pretty much sealing the deal for a game 1 win on the road. And he had a message back to ANT after the game as well. KYRIE: I WAS MOTIVATED Maaan, what a game by him and Doncic as they scored or assisted on 88 out of the 108 Mavs points. That’s involvement in 81% of the Dallas points between the 2 of them. Incredible. On rategame, the app that I’m a part of we score each game by how good they are, and I gave this one an 8.4. And I totally agree with Yousef, Ant seemed tired out there having to chase Kyrie. Download the app in the link in the description and join us in rating these games.

IPL 2024 Live: MI vs LSG, Match 67 | IPL Live Score & Commentary | Mumbai vs Lucknow Live Match

#livestream #ipl2024 #cricket IPL 2024 Live: MI vs LSG, Match 67 | IPL Live Score & Commentary | Mumbai vs Lucknow Live Match Business query: info.iqbalsports@gmail.com Preview: The Mumbai Indians (MI) will face the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) today at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MI is at the bottom of the points table, having won four of its 13 matches. Hardik Pandya's team will play this match for pride. LSG has won six of its thirteen matches. Lucknow, captained by KL Rahul, have already been eliminated. Even a victory in this match will not change their fate due to their low Net Run Rate. Mumbai and Lucknow have faced off in four IPL matches so far. While MI was victorious in one, LSG won three. Mumbai's highest total versus Lucknow thus far is 182. LSG's greatest score versus MI was 199. These teams last faced off on April 30 of this year. Marcus Stoinis of LSG was named Player of the Match after scoring 62 runs in 45 balls. The Super Giants won the match by four wickets. Pandya's captaincy has come under scrutiny, with fans expressing their displeasure. Mumbai's batting unit battled together, relying largely on Jasprit Bumrah's outstanding bowling exploits. However, his attempts failed to unite the entire bowling team. LSG made things difficult for themselves in their last two matches, losing to SRH and DC, respectively. They should have won both matches. Instead, they suffered a crushing loss against SRH. The loss to DC did not assist them either. Their determination will be put to the test when they face MI. LSG must win by a large margin while hoping that SRH loses both of their matches by a large margin. As a result, all of the LSG players must go all out against the five-time champs. Pitch Report... The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai has a pitch that favours batters. The pitch is normally level, with decent bounce and carry, allowing batsmen to be aggressive. The stadium's limits are relatively short. However, the pitch can help fast bowlers, particularly in the early stages of a match. Weather... The temperature in Mumbai will be approximately 32 degrees Celsius. But it will feel 38 degrees Celsius. The humidity will be approximately 68%. 15% chance of rain. Prediction... According to Google's victory probability, Mumbai has a 56% chance of defeating Lucknow in the final league match. Squads: Lucknow Super Giants Squad: Quinton de Kock(w), KL Rahul(c), Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Arshad Khan, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mohsin Khan, Devdutt Padikkal, Prerak Mankad, Manimaran Siddharth, Krishnappa Gowtham, Ashton Turner, Amit Mishra, Arshin Kulkarni, Kyle Mayers, Matt Henry, Shamar Joseph, Yash Thakur Mumbai Indians Squad: Ishan Kishan(w), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah, Nuwan Thushara, Shams Mulani, Shivalik Sharma, Mohammad Nabi, Kumar Kartikeya, Dewald Brevis, Romario Shepherd, Shreyas Gopal, Luke Wood, Harvik Desai, Gerald Coetzee, Arjun Tendulkar, Akash Madhwal, Kwena Maphaka aaj ka match live cricket match jio cinema live cricket match today live match today cricket live match today online live match today how to watch cricket live in mobile live cricket 2022 लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants live live cricket match Iqbal Sports live live match today Hotstar Live Iqbal Sports hindi commentary Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians live MI vs LSG Live LSG vs MI Live MI Live Match LSG Live Match IPL Live IPL 2024 Live IPL Live Match Today IPL 2024 Live Match Indian Premier League match live match live india IPL live stream online iqbal commentary iqbal sports live commentary iqbal sports commentary ipl 2024 live kaise dekhe watch free ipl live ipl live kaise dekhe ipl live stream in india ipl live stream in nepal #livestream #livescore #trending Score Credit: crex.live Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
