Warriors

Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins led the way as the Warriors took a commanding three-games-to-none lead over the Mavericks in the Western Conference finals.

In the first two games of the conference finals, Porter averaged 10.5 points and 6.5 rebounds, and was a combined plus-27. He missed all three of his shot attempts, all coming from beyond the arc. The Warriors' Energizer Bunny was relentless on both sides of the ball, never showing a slight case of being tired. Stop me if you've heard this before: Andrew Wiggins came up huge again for the Warriors in a playoff win. The King of Plus-Minus does the dirty work, gives the Warriors a rebounding presence and had one of the smoothest mid-range jump shots in the league. After several straight possessions with a limp and a grimace, Otto Porter Jr. had enough.

The play is under review. The box-and-one zone that Slater correctly identified the Warriors switching to hasn't been terribly effective, and Dallas has simply swung the ball around until it finds an open 3. The energy in the AAC isn't great right now for Dallas fans. Hate to be dramatic about it, but ... hey ... it is what it is. Having worked with Kevin Harlan for years at TNT, one of the great things he does, and just did again, is shout out the people that work behind the scenes on the remote crew for games. Any chance this miracle season continues better start now. Golden State has sucked the life out of this crowd — and there's still 9:32 left in the game. It reminded me: this is why players jump to block 3s after the whistle. Dallas isn't out of this, but right now, that absurd dunk feels like it killed any momentum the Mavericks had to make a comeback. •2h ago •2h ago •2h ago

I saw the video again, and I was like, 'Oof.' I wish I had those bunnies." "That's the main thing when I see the rim. Wiggins and his team were able to celebrate only momentarily, as official Marc Davis ran over to call the play an offensive foul on Wiggins. After being successfully challenged by Steve Kerr, the call was overturned, and the dunk stood.

The Golden State Warriors are one win away from the NBA Finals after beating the Dallas Mavericks 109-100 in Game 3 on Sunday night.

Warriors are just a buzzsaw on both ends of the floor. — x - Dallas Mavericks (@dallasmavs)— x - Dallas Mavericks (@dallasmavs) https://t.co/eIoO4IS4Yx pic.twitter.com/WfhTdML0VU May 23, 2022 my goodness what a dunk But with the Warriors comfortably in the driver's seat right now, it's not too early to start thinking about the next opponent on the calendar. A sweep is imminent on Tuesday folks. Golden State has been dominant through this entire series, and are now one win away from reaching its sixth NBA Finals in eight years. Finney-Smith had just nine points, while Kleber also finished with zero points on 0-5 from the field. When the Mavericks went down 0-2 in the conference semifinals against the Phoenix Suns, they responded with four of their five starters scoring in double figures to grab a Game 3 win. His steady production on both ends of the floor, which also included six offensive rebounds, is part of the reason Dallas is having such a miserable time at trying to guard this Warriors team. Wiggins has been outstanding for Golden State all series long, averaging over 20 points while also drawing the toughest defensive assignment in guarding Doncic on the other end of the floor. Led by a 31-point performance from Stephen Curry, and 27 points from Andrew Wiggins, Golden State once again asserted its dominance over Dallas to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. In fact that's better than any of the dunks we saw during the Dunk Contest at All-Star Weekend earlier this season.

NBA - Les Golden State Warriors ont battu les Dallas Mavericks (109-100) pour la troisième fois de suite malgré Luka Doncic (40 points).

Leur marque de fabrique. NBA Ils ne font aucun cadeau aux Mavericks et ne sont désormais plus qu’à une victoire de rejoindre les finales NBA après leur succès 109 à 100 la nuit dernière. Un nouveau match maîtrisé par Stephen Curry (31 points et 11 passes) et ses camarades.

Les Golden State Warriors ne sont déjà plus qu'à une victoire des Finales NBA, après leur victoire à Dallas dans le game 3 dimanche.

Reggie Bullock et Maxi Kleber, deux des shooteurs attitrés de l'équipe, ont tiré à 0/15 à 3 points en cumulé. Pour être dans une position aussi enviable, Golden State a dû faire le job à Dallas dans le game 3 dimanche. On a bien cru que Doncic était lancé vers l'une de ces soirées magiques où le cercle fait 3 mètres de marge à ses yeux, notamment lorsqu'il a inscrit un panier au buzzer du 1er quart-temps.

Kerr a bien fait d’utiliser ce challenge, permettant à son joueur de valider ce poster, mais surtout de donner deux points supplémentaires à son équipe dans les 7 dernières minutes. L’action des playoffs à n’en pas douter, même si le plus important est ailleurs : la victoire, permettant aux Dubs de mener 3-0 dans cette finale de conférence. Et de 3 désormais. Les Warriors mènent 3-0 dans leur finale de conférence contre les Mavericks, en perdition à l’Ouest. Il y a pourtant eu une belle bataille, mais comme souvent, les Dubs ont fait la différence au troisième quart-temps, au retour du vestiaire. Les Warriors ont encore dominé les Mavericks dans le Game 3 de leur finale de conférence, prenant une option pour la victoire au Game 4. Une faute offensive est sifflée oui, sauf que Steve Kerr va poser un challenge, et le remporter. Pas impossible sur le papier, mais vu la forme des Warriors, on voit mal un tel scénario arriver.

As everyone tries to find the NBA's next superstar, Steph Curry remains the main reason the Warriors are one win from the Finals.

Steph isn't taking a second for granted back here in the playoffs, and everyone tuning in should do the same when they watch him. Remembering to appreciate the now and appreciating the moment feels like a bit of a lost art. He already has made three NBA All-Star teams, won Rookie of the Year, been named to two All-NBA teams and is about to be named to his third. With all that being said, did Curry find extra motivation in going head-to-head against the 23-year-old Doncic going into this series? Curry is 11 years older than Doncic. He has everything the Mavs star wants as a basketball player with his multiple MVPs and championships. This is Doncic's first taste of the conference finals. He's in his 13th season and his eighth trip in the playoffs. The only other players to have at least seven performances of scoring 30-plus points in a single postseason? His 38 percent clip from deep in the regular season was a new career-low, as was his 43.7 percent overall from the field. He shot 50 percent from the field (10-for-20), 50 percent on 3-pointers (5-for-10) and made all six of his free throws. Through the first three games of the conference finals, Curry now is shooting 49.1 percent overall against the Mavs and 48.3 percent from downtown. Curry's been here and on this stage for a long time now.

Ce dimanche, à l'occasion du Game 3 de la finale de Conférence Ouest, les Warriors se sont une fois encore imposés face à Dallas.

Lui et Andrew Wiggins – 27 points à 11/20 au tir, 11 rebonds et 3 assists – ont été les hommes forts de la rencontre. Ce qui lui faudra pour inverser la tendance ? Des perfs à 50. Ils prennent un récital dans des secteurs de jeu censés être maitrisés à ce stade de la compète. Un exemple ? Sous le cercle, au rebond, où les Warriors mènent 135 à 88 sur les trois premiers matchs de la série. On sait un garçon comme Kevon Looney expert dans le domaine, mais les Andrew Wiggins et Klay Thompson s’y mettent aussi, montrant que le succès final vient d’une implication collective. Et maintenant, on fait quoi ? On attend – une ou deux rencontres- que les Warriors valident la quatrième ? C’est l’idée. Dans toute l’histoire de la NBA, aucune équipe n’est jamais revenue d’un 3-0. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, Draymond Green ou encore Andrew Wiggins, ces gars-là n’ont en aucun cas la tête de ceux qui écrivent l’histoire dans le mauvais sens. En métronome de ce tempo tranquilou-bilou, Stephen Curry a été proprissime avec 31 points à 10/20 au tir dont 5/10 du parking, 5 rebonds et 11 assists.

Andrew Wiggins had a career playoff high 27 points and the Warriors beat the Mavericks Sunday to take a 3-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals.

This isn’t the end, this is just the beginning.” With its constant off-ball movement and wealth of shot creation, Golden State has proven the nightmare matchup for Dallas. All season long the Mavericks got the most out of what they had defensively — a lot of solid defenders but not elite ones — by getting everyone to play on a string, with sharp rotations and taking away what the other team wanted to do (as they did with midrange shots against Phoenix). The Warriors have broken that. Spencer Dinwiddie added 26 points off the bench for Dallas, and Jalen Brunson scored 20. Jason Kidd: “This is just the beginning of our journey. Luka Doncic had another massive offensive game, scoring 40 points on 11-of-23 shooting, and getting to the line 17 times. Doncic put on a show.

Sometimes the term "posterize" doesn't do a dunk justice, which is something Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins may have proven on Sunday night.

Initially the officials waved the play off, believing Wiggins had committed an offensive foul, but after a coach's challenge prompted by Steve Kerr, the call was overturned. Sometimes the term "posterize" doesn't do a dunk justice, which is something Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins may have proven on Sunday night. The Warriors went on to win -- with Wiggins scoring 27 points -- and now lead the Western Conference Finals 3-0.

Golden State is one win away from the Finals, thanks in part to a forward-thinking trade the organization made two seasons ago.

“It’s just a testament to the vision of the fit that he was going to be when the trade happened,” Curry said of Wiggins after the game. Golden State is on the cusp of another Finals. And Wiggins is an undeniable catalyst for the team’s current success. While no one is confusing Wiggins with Kevin Durant, his play does bring a certain dynamism to the Warriors. He’s more than only a 3-and-D player. It’s what the Warriors have needed as they enter a new era of contention. Finally, he joined a Warriors team that needed two years to fully regroup after a 2019 Finals loss that resulted in the departure of Kevin Durant and the first of two season-ending injuries to Thompson. The former No. 1 overall pick is putting together the best playoff series of his career in the biggest playoff series of his career. (He had six offensive boards in Game 3, including a slick putback dunk not long after his Dončić poster.) He was drafted by Cleveland and sent away before even playing a game for a team that didn’t think he could be part of a win-now group. And the emergence of Wiggins—first a bust, then an overpaid role player, to now in the perfect situation—is a big reason why. For Wiggins, the answer has been a resounding yes. Golden State, after a 109–100 win over the Mavs, is on the precipice of a return to the NBA Finals, their first since 2019. Against Dallas, Kerr is mostly mirroring Wiggins’s minutes to Dončić’s because of his defensive presence.

Steph Curry put up 31 points and 11 assists in the win as the Mavericks are on the brink of elimination.

... You can trust him out there no matter what he's asked to do." ... You can trust him out there no matter what he's asked to do." Coach Steve Kerr called Porter's foot injury "definitely concerning" and said the X-rays were negative. Doncic put up nine of those points en route to finishing with a game-leading 40 points. "Luka was making him work very hard and what a game he had tonight," guard Klay Thompson said of Wiggins' performance. Andrew Wiggins had 27 points and 11 rebounds to register his third career double-double in the playoffs.
