The Dallas Mavericks will face the Golden State Warriors on 20th May 2022, in what will be the second match of the Western Conference Finals.

The Warriors took care of the business quite comprehensively in the first game of the series, and they are hoping to take a 2-0 lead and protect their home court. On the other hand, Dallas would look to get a game at GSW’s home court, and it will put them in the driving seat for the rest of the series.
