How to Watch Warriors at Mavericks Western Conference Finals Game 4 on Tuesday
In Games 1 and 2 of this Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors took care of business on their home court and were able to withstand the fight the Dallas Mavericks put up. In Game 3 on Sunday, the Warriors once again cruised to a victory to take a commanding 3-0 lead in this series.
Now one win away from getting back to the NBA Finals for the sixth-time in the last eight seasons, the Warriors seem to be on cruise control while the Mavericks continue to scramble for answers on both ends of the court.
Luka Doncic, Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie combined for 86 points in Game 3, giving Dallas exactly what they needed on the offensive-end of the floor to maybe pick up a win, but the rest of the team shot just 5-27 (18.5%) and scored a combined 14 points.
Golden State has done a fantastic job defensively by taking Dorian Finney-Smith and Reggie Bullock out of the equation on the perimeter and while Luka Doncic continues to put up eye-popping numbers, they are nothing more than empty stats at this point.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have been the power trio for the Warriors in these playoffs, but perhaps their most important trio is formed by Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole and Kevon Looney.
All three of these secondary talents for the Warriors have stepped up into big roles and while they may not be the focal point of this roster, they have all contributed greatly in this series.
Wiggins has been a terrific two-way player against Doncic, Looney has destroyed Dallas on the interior and Poole has been the glue to hold everything together for the Warriors, attacking the Mavericks on the drive offensively and being the “spark” Golden State has missed all of these years on their bench.
On a collision course with the NBA Finals, the Warriors will enter Game 4 on Tuesday looking to seal the deal and pick up their second sweep in the Western Conference Finals in the last four seasons.
Can Dallas do anything to avoid complete embarrassment by the Warriors in front of their home faithful on Tuesday night?
