And then there were two. The Warriors and Mavericks will meet in the 2022 Western Conference Finals.
Golden State advanced to the penultimate series of the NBA Playoffs after eliminating Denver and Memphis. Stephen Curry (26.9 points per game), Klay Thompson (20.4) and Jordan Poole (19.3) have led the way offensively in the postseason, and Draymond Green and Kevon Looney have done the dirty work on the defensive end.
Dallas toughed out series against Utah and Phoenix, earning a spot in the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2011. Luka Doncic has been stellar throughout the NBA Playoffs, most recently sinking the Suns with an efficient 35-point performance in Game 7.
Will the Warriors reach the NBA Finals for the sixth time in the past eight seasons? Or can the Mavericks pull off another upset?
