The Warriors have dominated the tie over the first 3 games and Game 5 was no different as their defense has managed to keep the Mavericks on the back seat despite the brilliance of Doncic and Dinwiddie, who were simply sensational on the night. Despite the brilliance of Doncic, who managed to grab 28 points with 9 rebounds and also helped his team by providing 6 assists the Mavericks looked by far the second best. Â His fellow teammate Spencer Dinwiddie also gave his all in the match and notched 26 points with the Mavericks almost giving up the match after the third quarter of the match.
The Mavericks were in the back seat pretty much throughout the entire match and after the third quarter they almost were tired and exhausted having gone behind by 10 points. The brilliance of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins earned them their much needed victory and they cam back strong after the shocking loss in Game-4. They came up with a scintillating reply to turn the match and finally won it 120-110 by a huge margin. Klay Thompson grabbed 32 points while Wiggins also supported him by netting 18 points to put the Warriors into the finals of the NBA 2021/2022 Championship.
Golden State Warriors Match Report
Steve Kerr’s men were in a gallant form in the match and almost all of his players had scored in double digits last night. Although the Warriors lost the last match, 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 the back in the back Kevon Looney who kept the Mavericks forwards away from scoring and even supported the team with some vital points in the last quarter.
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 the journey has come to a sad end Jason Kidd’s side. Dwight Powell and Reggie Bullock have been kept shut for nearly all the games in the tie and the only players going strong for the Mavericks’ are Luka Doncic, Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie who have been running their best form but their teammates couldn’t provide the support they needed in the last quarters.
