With the win, the Mavericks now claim a 3-0 series lead over the Timberwolves. At this point, it feels less like a matter of if, but rather when the Mavericks will win the series now. The team has played exceptionally well this series, and can hopefully close it out in Game 4. We'll see if they got what it takes, or if they'll fold under pressure.

With the loss, the Timberwolves are now in desperation mode. It seems unlikely now that they'll be able to win this series against an experienced team. Although we love to see players like Anthony Edwards make headlines, this year might not be his. However, it's not over yet. The Timberwolves still have a chance to come back, but it'll take the whole team.

In terms of accuracy, the score was still a bit too high. While it was lower than the Game 2 simulation score, we'd like to lower it for future games.
