There was a big lead. There was a rain delay. There was a late rally. And finally, there was a Mavericks win.
Dallas got on the board in the Western Conference Finals with a Game 4 victory, avoiding what would have been the second sweep of the 2022 NBA Playoffs. The Warriors' bench mob kept the American Airlines Center crowd on its toes in the fourth quarter, but Luka Doncic (30 points, 14 rebounds, nine assists) shut the door on Golden State.
Now, the Mavs will head back to San Francisco for a win-or-go-home Game 5. They are facing an uphill climb, as the Warriors hold a perfect 8-0 record at home this postseason.
Can Dallas extend the series? Or will Golden State punch its ticket to the NBA Finals?
