The Warriors have dominated the tie in the last game and Game 3 was was a change of ends for the Mavericks as they had the better of their opponents and came out with a win. The Mavericks were on the front seat, thanks to the brilliance of Doncic and Brunson, who were simply sensational on the night. With the brilliance of Doncic, who managed to grab 30 points with 14 rebounds and also helped his team by providing 9 assists the Mavericks looked by far the better team on the night. His fellow teammate Dorian Finney-Smith came out with redemption and gave his all in the match and notched 23 points helping his team with the vital win and stay alive in the semi-final tie.
The match was pretty much equally matched for both the sides after the first quarter when the score was 28-24 for the Mavericks, but little did we know that the brilliance of Doncic and Finney-Smith was coming so late into the night. They came up with a scintillating reply to turn the match in the next two quarters of the match and finally won it by 119-109. Curry grabbed 20 points while Jonathan Kuminga also supported him by netting 17 points but that wasn’t enough to stop the Mavericks.
Dallas Mavericks Match Report
Although the Mavericks were counted as one of the favorites to win the NBA this year, they have been left stunned by the performance of their opponent and it looked like an early exit for Jason Kidd’s side. But they have finally found their form and replied brilliantly in the fourth Game and keeping them alive into tie. Finney-Smith have been kept shut for 3 games in a row and finally performed last points and provided the Mavericks’ talisman Luka Doncic the support he missed in the previous matches. Dwight Powell had a bad day in the business having to cope up against Curry and Wiggins who tore him apart and took the game away from the Mavericks.
Golden State Warriors Match Report
Steve Kerr’s men are in a gallant form at the moment and almost all of his players have scored in double digits per game this season. Although the Warriors were looking to end up on a defeat after the first two quarters performance, they managed to pick themselves up at the right time and stun the Mavericks. With the experience of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in their squad, the Warriors were always the favorites going in into the match. But the majority of credit goes to Andrew Wiggins and the man in the back Kevon Looney who yet again kept the Mavericks forwards away from scoring and even supported the team with some vital points.
