Reports of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ demise may have been premature. To show, the Wolves fought off NBA betting elimination with a 105-100 win at Dallas. As a result, the Mavericks lead the best-of-seven series 3-1. Minnesota faces long odds at a comeback in this series. Cause by the fact that no NBA team has ever rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a series. Overall, 154 teams have been in that position, and only four of them forced a game seven. And 15 teams made it to a game six. Minnesota will host game five on Thursday.
