The Dallas Mavericks were defeated by Golden State in Game 5

After two years of being away from the playoffs altogether, the Golden State Warriors are now all set to make a comeback to the NBA Finals for the sixth time in eight years. They defeated the Dallas Mavericks in five games in the Western Conference Finals. In Game 5, the Golden State Warriors took an early lead and never looked behind. In the first half itself, the Warriors had a 21-point advantage as Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were too good with their moves. 

On the other end, Luka Doncic struggled, scoring just six points on 12 shots in the first half. The result was an odd half where the Mavs bench really kept things from being a disaster, while Luka and the starters never really got going. All series Looney and the Warriors have punished the Mavs on the offensive boards, neutralizing strong initial defense from Dallas by creating second-chance opportunities, and Game 5 was no different, as Golden State cruised to a 120-110 win.
