CBS Dallas/Fort Worth May 17, 2021 The Dallas Mavericks certainly didn't look their best Sunday night, allowing Anthony Edwards to score 30 points in his final audition for the NBA Rookie of the Year award, and lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 136-121 victory over the postseason-bound Mavs. Luka Doncic had 18 points, six rebounds and six assists in 21 minutes for the Mavericks, who were unharmed by the meaningless defeat. They get the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, pitted against the No. 4 seed Los Angeles Clippers beginning next weekend in the first round. It's a rematch of an intense series last year in the Florida bubble. "It was a lot of trash talking, a lot of hard plays, but it was fun," said Doncic, who traded plenty of barbs with Clippers forward Marcus Morris. "That's what basketball is about."
