Hollinger: Western Conference finals thoughts on Luka, KAT and more

The Western Conference finals have been an exciting series despite appearing to be over quickly. Although Dallas is leading the series 3-0, the Minnesota Timberwolves have given them a tough fight in each game. The Timberwolves even held the lead in the fourth quarter in all three games. Luka Dončić’s dominant performance and shot-making skills have been a key factor in Dallas’ success. Minnesota has struggled to find a defensive strategy to contain Dončić. Additionally, Kyle Anderson has been effective in guarding Dončić for the Timberwolves. The replay rule regarding fouls on out-of-bounds calls has come under scrutiny due to a missed call in Game 2. Dallas reserve guard Jaden Hardy has been making a positive impact off the bench for the Mavericks.
