Golden State lived on what the Mavericks were willing to give them in Game 1, and they torched Dallas with an endless barrage of mid-range jumpers and wide-open looks at the rim off of the pick-and-roll. Dallas stayed true to their love for the deep ball that they’ve ridden to the Western Conference Finals. It resulted in a lopsided Game 1 victory for the Warriors.
Can Luka Dončić and the Mavericks answer the first punch landed by Golden State on Wednesday night, or will the Dubs continue to assert their experience in these Western Conference Finals and roll with the jabs that Luka and the Mavs throw their way?
That gravitational pull 🤯
Steph's ability to draw multiple defenders has always led to open dunks and triples for the @warriors!

Like superstars before him, Doncic does everything for his team. But to help Dallas take the next big leap to a title, history suggests he may actually need to do less.@zachkram:https://t.co/C3BGkG7l4y
