Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors get another shot at closing out Luka Dončić and the Dallas Mavericks tonight after Luka’s performance in another elimination game proved too much for Golden State on Tuesday night. Dončić is averaging 36.6 points per contest in five elimination games this postseason, the most in NBA history per StatMuse.
Does Luka have any more magic left for the Mavs, or will Golden State punch their ticket to the Finals tonight?
