After building a 3-0 series lead over the Mavericks, the Warriors are one win away from the 2022 NBA Finals.
While Dallas has failed to register a win in the series, it won’t go down easily. Led by Luka Doncic, who scored 42 points in Game 2 and 40 points in Game 3, the Mavericks hope to extend their series by earning a win in front of their home crowd.
Golden State, on the other hand, will continue to lean on its depth. Stephen Curry has led the way in the series, but the Warriors have benefitted from the contributions of Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins, among others.
