The Golden State Warriors led by Klay Thompson closed out the Dallas Mavericks in 5 games, and have progressed to the NBA Finals.
The Golden State Warriors are once again the champions of the Western Conference. They closed out the Dallas Mavericks in the 5th game of the series, and have progressed to the NBA Finals.
Klay Thompson was the star of the night for the Warriors. He ended up scoring 32 points and helped the Warriors to register a huge win by the score of 120-110.
It was a big moment for Klay as he came back from two serious injuries and has now guided his team to another run in the NBA Finals. After 2 years of hiatus, the Warriors are back to the pinnacle of the sport.
Stephen Curry was awarded the first-ever WCF MVP award, as he was brilliant throughout the series. The Warriors will now face the winner between Boston and Miami in the NBA Finals.
The Dallas Mavericks had a stellar season. They exceeded all expectations and made it to the WCF. Luka Doncic was sensational throughout the season.
This Dallas team was not yet ready for the NBA Finals, and it was visible in this series. Nevertheless, they have made a huge leap this season, and they will look to build on it from here on. Luka has a great future ahead, and if Dallas can secure some good pieces in the offseason, they certainly can win it all.
