Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving was heard mocking the Minnesota Timberwolves before Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.
During warmups, Irving was heard contextualizing the pregame situation.
‘This is your Super Bowl. It’s just a normal game for us,” Irving said before delivering a monster dunk.
While there may be some ridicule, he’s not entirely wrong: this is a do-or-die game for the Timberwolves.
So far, the Minnesota team has been dominated by the Dallas team in their quest for a spot in the finals.

Irving and the Mavericks have a 3-0 lead over Anthony Edwards and Minnesota
Games 1 and 2 were close, but both 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 that sealed a 109-108 victory.
Unlike the games in Minnesota, the last game in Dallas was much more one-sided: Doncic and Irving dropped 33 points and the Mavericks won 116-107.
Minnesota needs a win in Game 4 to stay alive in the race for a spot in the NBA Finals.
