We going to believe until the end." Could the Mavs possibly become the first team in history to come back from a 3-0 series deficit? "We got to believe," said Doncic.

The Golden State Warriors are on the verge of another trip to the NBA Finals, and they have a chance to close out the Western Conference Finals at home.

Porter is being listed as questionable with a left foot injury, as the veteran forward attempts to manage both his current injury and also his potential availability for the NBA Finals if the Warriors should indeed advance. For Game 5, the Dallas Mavericks will once again have just the single absence of Tim Hardaway Jr., as the rest of their injury report remains clean. The Dallas Mavericks will not go away, but the Warriors have been simply dominant on their home floor all postseason long.

To do so they’ll have to knock out a Mavericks team that faced series’ deficits to both the Utah Jazz and the Phoenix Suns, the latter of which had a 3-2 lead on Dallas before imploding. The Golden State Warriors head into Game 5 with the Dallas Mavericks at Chase Center. The Dubs have yet to lose a playoff game in San Francisco, and closed out both of their last two series on their homecourt. "He’s moving that left arm much more freely.

That’s not going to cut it on the road in Game 5. The Mavericks attacked it pretty well, only the Warriors pushed and went on a run to close the 29 point lead with their bench unit. The Dallas role players and positive regression played a huge part in the Tuesday night win. There’s a pretty strong correlation to Luka Doncic getting double digit rebounds and Dallas winning the game. However, against the Warriors on Tuesday night, they finally won that statistical category and with it, they won the game. Here’s some considerations prior to the game.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was critical of U.S. senators who have failed...

There was to be a moment of silence before the game. They refuse to to even put it to a vote, despite what the American people want. “It’s been sitting there for two years and there’s a reason they won’t vote on it: to hold onto power,” Kerr said. I’m sorry — I’m tired of the moments of silence. “I’m so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. Kerr, whose father, Malcolm, was assassinated when Steve Kerr was in college, is an outspoken critic of gun violence and of the politicians who abet it.

The loss snapped the Warriors' nine-game winning streak in Western Conference finals games, though they are still firmly in control of this series headed back ...

After Doncic and Green stood in the lane together laughing about that, the ball was eventually knocked down. All others ahead of him are either in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, are still active players, or are retired and not yet eligible for Hall induction — such as Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki. One was dropping water near the Golden State bench, and at the other end of the court water appeared to be falling in the stands. The moment also recognized a teacher-coach from Palestine, Texas, who was killed when his car was hit by a wrong-way driver when driving the just more than 100 miles home from Game 3 on Sunday night. It was the second such delay this season in the 21-year-old building. Golden State was up 31-29 after a jumper by Moses Moody, then had only one made basket the next seven minutes. A moment of silence just before tipoff came hours after an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at a Texas elementary school about 375 miles away in Uvalde, Texas, which is west of San Antonio in the southern part of the state. Only three of the 146 teams to fall in that deep hole have even been able to force a seventh game. The Mavericks have been swept in a best-of-seven only once in their 34 such series. But they never got closer even after Curry and other starters returned to the floor. “And we really didn’t do nothing to slow it down, and then that’s when the avalanche starts. “Just got to finish the game.

Following the tragic shooting that took place at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas earlier in the day, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr delivered ...

For coach to come up here and say what he said - every word that he said was powerful, was meaningful. I am so tired of the - I am sorry, I am tired of the moments of silence. I ask you, are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our elderly and our churchgoers?

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr refused to talk about basketball before his team's playoff game against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.

But the news of what is happening, not just here in Texas but throughout our country, is sad.” The winner will advance to the NBA finals, where they will play the Miami Heat or Boston Celtics. I ask you: Are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our elderly and our churchgoers? “We will truly play with heavy hearts tonight for the community, for the school of Robb Elementary School,” Kidd said. I am so tired of the, excuse me, I am sorry, I am tired of the moments of silence. Kerr looked into the camera before addressing the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell. “I ask you, Mitch McConnell, I ask all of you senators who refuse to do anything about the violence and school shootings and supermarket shootings.

The NBA Western Conference finals resume Tuesday with Game 4 between the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center.

After Game 2, Steve Kerr told his team the Mavericks would cool off. Something is leaking on the court. Five-minute warm up before the second half finally begins. Roof leak near the Warriors bench appears to be fixed. Here's a look at where they key players are with 24 minutes left to play: •4h ago •4h ago •4h ago •4h ago That's a mini fourth quarter win for the Warriors' second unit. Game 5 in SF on Thursday.

It will be tough for Dallas in Golden State, as the Warriors have been dominant on their home floor all season, but they are not ready to quit. I think our defense was amazing today," Luka said. The Dallas Mavericks are on the board.

The column laid out valid enough reasoning, highlighting Dallas's stout defense—and the fact that the Mavs had contained Stephen Curry better than just about ...

Interestingly enough, Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez—the incoming owners of the Timberwolves—apparently came in with a similar strategy, wanting to find a star executive to lead the organization, and having a willingness to open not only the pocketbook but some of the profits, too, to get who they wanted. It left New York with a fundamentally different situation than the Heat, which, just months before Riley’s exit, were sold to Micky Arison. When he got ownership of the club from Billy Cunningham and Lewis Schaffel, Arison took 88% of the Heat, an acquisition that gave him relatively unilateral ability to hand over a cut of the organization to Riley as they negotiated a deal for him to join the Heat. You can read the book excerpt concerning Riley’s controversial exit from New York in The New York Times. He’s one of the nicest people in the industry, but also one of the very brightest in terms of spelling out the game to people eager to understand it better. I have to admit: I’m always a bit fascinated when someone gets a dual role, where they serve as part of the coaching staff and as part of management, while handling player personnel. Yet New York had a contract extension offer on the table to double the $1.5 million he earned per year—an amount that would have given him $15 million over the next five years. Chris Mannix was in the mysterious NBA draft lottery room last week and did a behind-the-scenes write-up on what that process is like to be a part of. This year’s return of Thompson, paired with the emergence of Poole, has given the Warriors a new look that makes Wiggins dangerous in a way he probably couldn’t have ever been as a No. 1 or even a No. 2 scorer with the Timberwolves. It was part of the reason why Dallas looked beyond lost as it blew a 19-point advantage and couldn’t string together stops in the final quarter of Game 2. And it’s an almost cruel exercise, given how much mental and physical stamina is required to guard the Warriors, which treat their offensive possessions like a sped-up version of the teacup rides at Disney, with multiple players racing around, screening for one another in weird spots. There’s also plenty to be said for the other side of the ball, where Wiggins is utilizing the strategy the Mavs used to perfection a round ago: To repeatedly make the opposing team’s primary ballhandler work far harder than usual on defense. - Kevon Looney, the generally quiet center, has made life miserable for Dallas on the offensive glass and as a dump-off man, who consistently maneuvers behind the Mavs’ confused, overextended defense. As you might have noticed, Golden State has made the man who penned that piece look funny in the light.

The Warriors threatened a monumental comeback, but ultimately fell short in Tuesday's 119-109 loss in Dallas. With the loss, the Warriors' series advantage ...

Dinwiddie - 8 Kleber - 8 Green - 6 Poole - 14 Green - 6 Kuminga - 8

Arena workers had to climb up onto the catwalks near the roof and set up a tarp system to catch the water. There are few players who can control a game like Doncic, and he was not going to let the Mavericks lose. Aside from the first half of Game 2, they have not in this series, which is why the Mavericks were down 3-0 and facing elimination. In Game 4 they found their stroke, going 20 of 43 from downtown en route to a series-saving win. Then, play was halted due to a leak in the roof of the American Airlines Center. When play finally did resume, the Mavericks picked up right where they left off and built a 29-point lead with some incredible 3-point shooting. The series, which now stands 3-1 in favor of the Warriors will head back to the Bay Area for Game 5 on Thursday night.

The Dallas Mavericks staved off elimination and avoided a series sweep in the Western Conference Finals, as Luka Doncic led his team to a 119-109 win over ...

"The next part is to find a way to win on the road. "This is one and, straight away, we've got to think of the next one. "That's how we've got to play; when we play like this, we're a dangerous team.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr ripped American inaction on gun violence after the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

"We are being held hostage by 50 senators in Washington who refuse to even put it to a vote despite what we, the American people, want," Kerr said. On Tuesday, Kerr went after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell by name over his party's opposition to the bill. "When are we going to do something?"

In a win-or-go-home Game 4 for the Dallas Mavericks, expect more of the same from the Warriors, with these two bets topping the list.

He’s on the court, he gets plenty of volume, and he takes – and makes – plenty of 3-pointers. He’s coming off a playoff career-high 27 points, and has at least 16 points in his last four games. Outside of Luka Doncic, Dallas simply can’t hang, and I expect the Warriors to put an exclamation point on their Western Conference Finals sweep tonight. Yeah, you can take the spread of +1.5 at (-115) on BetMGM, but if you, like me, believe that Golden State is going to continue its dominance in Game 4, then why not take the alternate spread? No NBA team has ever come back to win in a best-of-seven series when trailing 0-3, meaning the Mavericks will have to make history if their season is to continue. Golden State is better than Dallas in essentially every single stat throughout this series.

Once they did, they avoided a sweep and were still alive in the Western Conference finals. Doncic had 30 points and 14 rebounds, and the Mavericks beat Golden ...

After Doncic and Green stood in the lane together laughing about that, the ball was eventually knocked down. All others ahead of him are either in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, are still active players, or are retired and not yet eligible for Hall induction - such as Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki. One was dropping water near the Golden State bench, and at the other end of the court water appeared to be falling in the stands. Draymond Green went to the free throw line midway through the third quarter and his first attempt came to a complete stop on the wide back side of the rim. The moment also recognized a teacher-coach from Palestine, Texas, who was killed when his car was hit by a wrong-way driver when driving the just more than 100 miles home from Game 3 on Sunday night. It was the second such delay this season in the 21-year-old building. Golden State was up 31-29 after a jumper by Moses Moody, then had only one made basket the next seven minutes.

Just two days after the Buffalo mass shooting, one person was killed and five others were wounded in a shooting at a Taiwanese church in Laguna Woods, California, that was described by the Orange County sheriff as a "politically motivated hate incident." But the news of what is happening, not just here in Texas but throughout our country, is sad." After the game, Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale echoed Kerr, emphasizing, "Something has to change." "We will truly play with heavy hearts tonight for the community, for the school of Robb Elementary School," Kidd said. I've had enough" Kerr said. I ask you: Are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our elderly and our churchgoers? "I'm fed up. As he looked into the camera, he continued, "So I ask you: [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell, I ask all of you senators who refuse to do anything about the violence and school shootings and supermarket shootings. "Uvalde, There are no right words. This was the school's last week of classes before summer break. I am so tired of the, excuse, I am sorry, I am tired of the moments of silence. On numerous occasions, including Tuesday, Kerr has pointed to H.R.8, a bill that would tighten background check rules for firearm purchases.

In Game 3, Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber combined for a 0-of-12 clip from beyond the arc. Some of those looks were shots they'd normally knock in — but for ...

Green was visibly frustrated and angry in the first clip above — there were rotations that weren’t made, and some that weren’t supposed to happen. With Moody lingering too long on his stunt, Dončić swings it to Brunson for the open three. On some possessions, all it took was the simplest of movements to get the Mavericks an open shot. Kleber sets the ball screen, but before doing so, directs Finney-Smith to relocate to the opposite (left) corner. In turn, Finney-Smith cuts through the nail and fills the empty space (right corner) that Bullock vacates. They were finding holes in the Warriors’ zone; Luka Dončić was using the attention he was garnering to create holes and generate advantages. You rarely see Dončić move after giving up the ball, but that’s what he does in the possessions above. Draymond Green also holds up a fist to signal to his teammates that they should get into a zone, but not everyone gets the message. In Game 3, Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber combined for a 0-of-12 clip from beyond the arc. He holds up two fists — the team’s hand signal for a zone. The open shots that weren’t falling finally went in, but the shots that were decently contested — the pull-up threes that are generally more inefficient than the open catch-and-shoot variety — also went in. The Mavericks shot a blazing 20-of-43 — 46.5% — from beyond the arc.

Grading Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Jonathan Kuminga, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors after the team's 119-109 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in ...

His defense just got taken advantage of a bit. No selfishness. So it was really nice to see him have a bounce back game and play some decent basketball. Kuminga, on the other hand, very well might get a good chunk of minutes on Thursday, especially if Otto Porter Jr. remains sidelined. Bjelica is a very talented player, but this series doesn’t particularly suit him. His efficiency was fine, but he wasn’t able to get all that many shots off. After two games of being a star, Looney was something of a non-factor in Game 4. Wiggins has been exceptional in this series, but this game was rather pedestrian. Props to the back of the bench for turning a blowout loss into something slightly dramatic. Grade: B- And for the second time this postseason, they had a chance to sweep a playoff series, and failed. Not really sure what to make of Green’s performance.
