Mavericks Defeat Warriors in Thrilling Game 6
Dončić Hits Game-Winning Three-Pointer
The Dallas Mavericks secured a hard-fought 109-108 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday night at the American Airlines Center. The win puts the Mavericks one game away from advancing to the NBA Finals.
Clutch Performance from Dončić
Luka Dončić, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year, played a pivotal role in the Mavericks' victory. With the game tied at 108-108 with just three seconds remaining, Dončić drained a go-ahead three-pointer to seal the win for Dallas.
Dončić finished the game with 30 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists, leading the Mavericks in all three categories. His clutch shot in the closing seconds proved to be the difference in the game.
Mavs' Defense Shines
In addition to Dončić's heroics, the Mavericks' defense played a key role in the win. Dallas held the Warriors to just 36.8% shooting from the field and forced 14 turnovers.
The Mavericks' defense was particularly impressive in the fourth quarter, holding the Warriors to just 25 points. They were able to contain Stephen Curry, who had been averaging over 30 points per game in the series, to just 20 points on 7-of-25 shooting.
Mavs One Win Away from NBA Finals
The Mavericks now hold a 3-2 lead in the series and are one win away from advancing to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011. Game 7 will be played on Sunday night at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
If the Mavericks can win Game 7, they will face either the Boston Celtics or the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. The Celtics currently hold a 3-2 lead in their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Heat.
