Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving was overheard making fun of the Minnesota Timberwolves before Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.
During warmups, Irving was overheard contextualizing the situation leading up to the game.
‘This is their Super Bowl. It’s just a normal game for us,’ Irving said before throwing down a monster dunk.
While there may be some mocking, he’s not entirely wrong – this is a do-or-die game for the Timberwolves.
So far, the team from Minnesota has been dominated by the team from Dallas in their pursuit of a finals berth.

Irving and the Mavericks have a commanding 3-0 lead over Anthony Edwards and Minnesota
Games 1 and 2 were close, but both those games played in Minnesota ended in losses.
Luka Doncic finished strong in Game 1 to lead Dallas to a 108-105 victory.
Two nights later, Doncic dominated once again with a step-back triple late sealing a 109-108 victory.
Unlike the games in Minnesota, the last game in Dallas was much more one-sided – with Doncic and Irving both dropping 33 points as the Mavericks won 116-107.
Minnesota needs a Game 4 victory to stay alive in the race for a berth in the NBA Finals.
