Luka Doncic (30-14-9) Flirts With Triple Double to Save Mavericks (119-109)

Not over yet! No NBA team has ever surrendered a 3-0 series lead in league history, but Warriors couldn’t complete the sweep in the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday night. The Mavericks stomped the Warriors through three quarters (99-70) before Golden State cut into the lead in the fourth to lose by just ten (119-109). Luka Doncic (30-14-9) was one assist shy of a triple double, and Dorian Finney-Smith (23 points) and Reggie Bullock (18 points) were a combined 10-for-17 from deep to assist Doncic’s efforts. The Mavs staved off elimination for the moment, but Game 5 goes back to San Francisco for a re-focused Warriors club. GSW Leads Series (3-1)
