Warriors forward Otto Porter Jr. departed Sunday night's Game 3 with left foot soreness after going up for a layup. X-rays were negative and the team said ...

Porter came up hobbling, and was fidgeting with his left foot at the next stoppage -- a pair of Dallas free throws. Porter missed Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals with right foot soreness. After undergoing X-rays, he was running up and down the hallway testing out his foot.

... Otto Porter Jr., who averaged 10.5 points on 82% shooting the first two games, limped to the locker room in the first half and was ruled out with left foot soreness. Bullock worked with several organizations in the Dallas area after signing as a free agent in the offseason and has long been active in similar pursuits in his native North Carolina. ... Dorian Finney-Smith got a technical early in the second half for an elbow to the back of Green after a made Dallas free throw. After the timeout, Curry could been seen saying, “What happened?” and approached Doncic to talk about it. His sister, a transgender woman, was killed in 2014. As he circled back toward his bench, Curry walked by Doncic with teammate Juan Toscano-Anderson nearby. Wiggins’ dunk over Doncic was originally ruled an offensive foul midway through the fourth quarter.

A sweep is imminent on Tuesday folks. Golden State has been dominant through this entire series, and are now one win away from reaching its sixth NBA Finals in eight years. Finney-Smith had just nine points, while Kleber also finished with zero points on 0-5 from the field. When the Mavericks went down 0-2 in the conference semifinals against the Phoenix Suns, they responded with four of their five starters scoring in double figures to grab a Game 3 win. His steady production on both ends of the floor, which also included six offensive rebounds, is part of the reason Dallas is having such a miserable time at trying to guard this Warriors team. Wiggins has been outstanding for Golden State all series long, averaging over 20 points while also drawing the toughest defensive assignment in guarding Doncic on the other end of the floor. Led by a 31-point performance from Stephen Curry, and 27 points from Andrew Wiggins, Golden State once again asserted its dominance over Dallas to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. In fact that's better than any of the dunks we saw during the Dunk Contest at All-Star Weekend earlier this season.

DALLAS – Luka Dončić scored 21 of his 40 points in the fourth quarter, but the Mavericks star's efforts weren't enough to beat a Warriors team that emerged ...

“We want to be whole going into the next round and we have to act like we haven’t finished the job yet. Another bonus to Golden State sweeping the Mavericks is that the team will have more than a week off until Game 1 of the NBA finals, which would be at Chase Center June 2. Wiggins responded on the other end with a dunk to put the Warriors up 48-47 at the break. Just going to have to just play together, play as a unit. Otto Porter Jr., who has been a reliable role player all postseason, limped off the court to the locker room with trainers midway through the second quarter, favoring his left foot. Bullock is only the 10th player in NBA playoff history to be held scoreless while playing at least 40 minutes. Curry’s celebration seemed to prompt Dončić to exchange words with Juan Toscano-Anderson and Jordan Poole. Eventually, officials stepped in to separate Poole and the Mavericks star. He celebrated the second one by waving his tongue at fans while he ran down the court as Mavericks coach Jason Kidd called a timeout to regroup. Emotions ran high throughout the entire game but especially at that point. “He is such a talented player, and I’m so grateful we have him.” We know how good Dallas is, so I’m just really proud of the way our guys played tonight and competed and got the job done.” Wiggins was also impressive, especially in the fourth quarter.

As everyone tries to find the NBA's next superstar, Steph Curry remains the main reason the Warriors are one win from the Finals.

Steph isn't taking a second for granted back here in the playoffs, and everyone tuning in should do the same when they watch him. Remembering to appreciate the now and appreciating the moment feels like a bit of a lost art. He already has made three NBA All-Star teams, won Rookie of the Year, been named to two All-NBA teams and is about to be named to his third. With all that being said, did Curry find extra motivation in going head-to-head against the 23-year-old Doncic going into this series? Curry is 11 years older than Doncic. He has everything the Mavs star wants as a basketball player with his multiple MVPs and championships. This is Doncic's first taste of the conference finals. He's in his 13th season and his eighth trip in the playoffs. The only other players to have at least seven performances of scoring 30-plus points in a single postseason? His 38 percent clip from deep in the regular season was a new career-low, as was his 43.7 percent overall from the field. He shot 50 percent from the field (10-for-20), 50 percent on 3-pointers (5-for-10) and made all six of his free throws. Through the first three games of the conference finals, Curry now is shooting 49.1 percent overall against the Mavs and 48.3 percent from downtown. Curry's been here and on this stage for a long time now.

Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins led the way as the Warriors took a commanding three-games-to-none lead over the Mavericks in the Western Conference finals.

In the first two games of the conference finals, Porter averaged 10.5 points and 6.5 rebounds, and was a combined plus-27. He missed all three of his shot attempts, all coming from beyond the arc. The Warriors' Energizer Bunny was relentless on both sides of the ball, never showing a slight case of being tired. Stop me if you've heard this before: Andrew Wiggins came up huge again for the Warriors in a playoff win. The King of Plus-Minus does the dirty work, gives the Warriors a rebounding presence and had one of the smoothest mid-range jump shots in the league. After several straight possessions with a limp and a grimace, Otto Porter Jr. had enough.

Stephen Curry led the way with with 31 points, made five 3-pointers and dished out 11 assists while grabbing five rebounds. If the Warriors sweep the series, it’ll be their sixth trip to the NBA finals in eight years.

DALLAS -- — Stephen Curry shimmied for the TV crew, Andrew Wiggins shook Luka Doncic with a posterizing dunk and the Warriors are thinking sweep.

The crowd was howling for a technical and finally got it, after plenty of Twitter chatter following Game 2 on whether refs should have given him a second tech. ... The Warriors extended their NBA record with a 26th consecutive series in which they won at least one road game. Bullock worked with several organizations in the Dallas area after signing as a free agent in the offseason and has long been active in similar pursuits in his native North Carolina. ...

But the replay ruling after Kerr challenged was incidental contact, giving Golden State a 93-83 lead. As he circled back toward his bench, Curry walked by Doncic with teammate Juan Toscano-Anderson nearby. “I love the position we’re in,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.

Andrew Wiggins' highlight dunk shows how far he has come as a player and how close the Warriors are to another title.

Wiggins has played downright outstanding basketball for the Warriors in stretches since he was traded to Golden State in 2020, but that reputation would not go away. He was an All-Star starter this season, but that was dismissed as ballot-box stuffing. After all, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft had a seemingly indelible reputation around the league as overrated, overpaid and underperforming. In the regular season, teams are just trying to get to their jet in one piece — the 82 games all blend together and coaches are only focusing on their teams. In the playoffs, coaches are focusing not on their team, but on what the other team cannot do. Wings are worth their weight in gold in the playoffs.

The Warriors used a strong second half showing over the Mavericks to earn a 109-100 victory in Dallas on Sunday night, taking the Western Conference Finals ...

Brunson - 3 Brunson - 5 Doncic - 11 Doncic - 40 Wiggins - 11 Curry - 11

Golden State is one win away from the Finals, thanks in part to a forward-thinking trade the organization made two seasons ago.

“It’s just a testament to the vision of the fit that he was going to be when the trade happened,” Curry said of Wiggins after the game. Golden State is on the cusp of another Finals. And Wiggins is an undeniable catalyst for the team’s current success. While no one is confusing Wiggins with Kevin Durant, his play does bring a certain dynamism to the Warriors. He’s more than only a 3-and-D player. It’s what the Warriors have needed as they enter a new era of contention. Finally, he joined a Warriors team that needed two years to fully regroup after a 2019 Finals loss that resulted in the departure of Kevin Durant and the first of two season-ending injuries to Thompson. The former No. 1 overall pick is putting together the best playoff series of his career in the biggest playoff series of his career. (He had six offensive boards in Game 3, including a slick putback dunk not long after his Dončić poster.) He was drafted by Cleveland and sent away before even playing a game for a team that didn’t think he could be part of a win-now group. And the emergence of Wiggins—first a bust, then an overpaid role player, to now in the perfect situation—is a big reason why. For Wiggins, the answer has been a resounding yes. Golden State, after a 109–100 win over the Mavs, is on the precipice of a return to the NBA Finals, their first since 2019. Against Dallas, Kerr is mostly mirroring Wiggins’s minutes to Dončić’s because of his defensive presence.

Andrew Wiggins is a soft-spoken man who would rather let his game speak for itself, and he made a statement Sunday night in Game 3 of the Western Conference ...

“He’s a fantastic two-way player. Dončić is averaging 34 points per game while shooting 45.3% from the field. The dunk punctuated a career night for Wiggins, who has continued to elevate his game in the playoffs. Wiggins has gone from being an inefficient high-volume scorer to a team player lauded for his stifling defense and aggressive rebounding. Even Magic Johnson called it the “dunk of the year.” Andrew Wiggins is playing the best basketball I’ve ever seen him play!! “And we got to see 800 replays because of the challenge, so appreciate you, Marc [Davis]. That was nice.” “Fourth quarter in a big win, not just because it was Luka, it was just because of the way it looked. I wish I had those bunnies.” That one was on Luka… when you get a poster on a superstar like that, it means just a little bit more.” I was surprised at the call but glad we had the challenge left.” Wiggins was initially whistled for an offensive foul, which he vehemently disagreed with.

The Golden State Warriors took a 3-0 series lead and edged closer to a place in the NBA Finals thanks to a 109-100 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.

We gotta come out and win the game. "You have to win one more game, and that game isn't gonna be easy. "This was a great lesson learned from us ... this isn't the end," a defiant Kidd told reporters.

The West playoffs have been stocked full of superstars and teams staking their claim on the NBA's future, but the league's most recent dynasty is far from ...

This is my first conference finals in the NBA." The Warriors tend to get stronger as the series wears on, while simultaneously exploiting weaknesses they unearth in their opponents. That is on pace to be their best such differential in any series under coach Steve Kerr -- better than 9.7 points they outscored the Houston Rockets by in the third quarters of the 2018 conference finals. There is one important figure from the Warriors dynasty Green left out of this analysis, of course. Sunday they made 68.8% of their layup and dunks. "It's more of an excitement that we can do it a different way." We left the space because Klay Thompson was out and then he was out again, and Andre [Iguodala] wasn't here. That seven-game series was far closer than this or any of their subsequent conference finals games. The Warriors won, as they did in three out of four Finals' matchups against James, by limiting everyone else. The Milwaukee Bucks won the title last season, while the Warriors were trying to groom their next generation of players to give their core another chance at reaching the biggest stage. But no team or organization have come close to supplanting the Warriors from their dynastic perch. "Toronto beat us, but no one really came and said, 'All right, the Golden State Warriors' time is up.'"

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks 109-100 to take a 3-0 series lead in the Western Conference finals. Steph Curry dropped 31 while ...

The play is under review. The box-and-one zone that Slater correctly identified the Warriors switching to hasn't been terribly effective, and Dallas has simply swung the ball around until it finds an open 3. The energy in the AAC isn't great right now for Dallas fans. Hate to be dramatic about it, but ... hey ... it is what it is. Having worked with Kevin Harlan for years at TNT, one of the great things he does, and just did again, is shout out the people that work behind the scenes on the remote crew for games. Any chance this miracle season continues better start now. Golden State has sucked the life out of this crowd — and there's still 9:32 left in the game. It reminded me: this is why players jump to block 3s after the whistle. Dallas isn't out of this, but right now, that absurd dunk feels like it killed any momentum the Mavericks had to make a comeback. •2h ago •2h ago •2h ago

“Steph is the best-conditioned athlete in this game,” Dallas Mavericks Coach Jason Kidd said, after his first encounter with Curry in the Western Conference ...

He was a 20-point scorer so he knew how to put the ball in the basket, but he would be asked to do it a different way and balance with the rest of the guys. If the Warriors knock off the Mavericks, he’s in line to be the inaugural winner of the Magic Johnson Western Conference finals MVP award. Wiggins has left his disappointing Minnesota Timberwolves stint in the past, transforming into a pleasant surprise with the Warriors and a two-way force in these playoffs. The challenge now is to close out a series against a really good team and get back to an opportunity to win the Finals.” History will remember Curry for changing the sport with his unmatched shooting ability, but loyalty and self-assuredness are equally important to his legacy. Curry has never seriously hinted at wanting out of Golden State in 12 years, not even during the ugly lottery seasons of 2019-20 and 2020-21. Though other superstars have split from their running mates in search of a larger market or a bigger role, Curry has consistently morphed his game to empower those around him, rather than feeling threatened or adopting a territorial response. Late in a Game 2 win, he mouthed the words, “Night, night,” while hitting a dagger three, then tilted his head onto his two hands as if they were a pillow. Just two months after he sustained a foot injury that sidelined him for the final 12 games of the regular season, Curry has returned to full speed and guided the Warriors to the brink of their sixth NBA Finals appearance in the past eight years. Later, he isolated against Luka Doncic and tiptoed past Dallas’s 23-year-old headliner with a series of crossover moves to set up a pretty finger roll. Yet Curry is still going — a ball of constant motion, running and shooting and celebrating like the good old days. During a 109-100 Game 3 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, Curry launched a three-pointer and turned his back while the ball was still arcing toward the hoop, his silent sign that he already knew that it was going in.

Andrew Wiggins' big performance, Golden State's resolve on the road and more have the Warriors 1 win away from a Finals berth.

Even before Dallas’ upset over the top-seeded Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference semifinals, Kidd maintained that his team is at the beginning of a journey rather than the end. Doncic and Brunson scored more than half (60 points) of Dallas’ points, but the rest of the Mavericks went 12-for-40 in Game 3. “This is just the beginning of the journey,” he said. Andrew Wiggins posted his third double-double of the postseason, and his first career 20-10 playoff outing with a playoff career-high 27 points, 11 rebounds and three assists. The first-time All-Star is also making Doncic work harder than usual on both ends of the floor. Dallas tried early on, but it failed, as it finished the first half with 14 points in that area compared to 24 for the visitors. Doncic and Jalen Brunson consistently drove their way into the paint, and either got buckets or dished to teammates that misfired on solid looks on the perimeter. “When you look at the guys who scored, Spencer [Dinwiddie], LD (Luka Doncic) and JB (Jalen Brunson), that’s not enough against the Warriors.” Golden State lost the second quarter by just two points (25-23), but you probably didn’t realize that at one point Dallas owned a 19-8 advantage in that frame. Golden State responded with a 14-8 run, capped by Stephen Curry nailing a 23-foot jumper with 2:01 left in the first half. Doncic racked up a playoff career-high 21 points in the final frame, finishing with a game-high 40 points on 11-for-23 shooting overall and a 4-for-9 showing from 3-point range while logging 11 rebounds and three assists. We’ve talked exhaustively about the need for the guard to involve the rest of his teammates to help Dallas achieve success vs.

The Warriors had eliminated the Mavs’ best chance to win the game and make the series respectable. But they couldn’t. They had taken the Warriors’ bait and were in a state of sped-up delirium. Dallas was just the latest team to fall prey to this style. The Rockets, Grizzlies, Nuggets and Blazers have not been able to counter it over the last eight years, either. Curry grabbed the loose ball and sprinted 90 feet to the other basket. The ball returned to Dončić, who chucked a 3-pointer that air-balled. The Warriors want to play fast. They also had a nine-point lead with less than four minutes to play in the second quarter. This is what coaches mean when they implore their teams to play “smart” on the road. But that’s not the Mavericks’ game. They’re methodical and physical on the offensive end. The Mavericks’ role players were playing better in front of a supporting crowd.

The Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks face off on Tuesday in Dallas in Game 4 of their NBA Playoffs series.

Tom Miller writes: "We have the Warriors (+1) as our best bet in this contest after analyzing all of the key stats and trends for this matchup. The Warriors didn't shoot as well as in the first two games of the series. The Warriors also added 12 more points in the paint.

Gannett may earn revenue from Tipico for audience referrals to betting services. Again, depth has been a problem for the Mavericks against the Warriors. In Game 3, Steph Curry added 31 points and 11 assists. Despite the Mavericks not turning the ball over much, the Warriors still had more shot attempts from the field. The Mavericks even had other production on the court other than Luka Doncic, with Spencer Dinwiddie and Jalen Brunson adding 20 or more points in the game. The Warriors pick each other up. Golden State is now 3-0 in the series and are currently one win away from making it to another Championship series. Jason Radowitz writes: "The Dallas Mavericks really would've liked to win Game 3.

Golden State acaricia las Finales de la NBA. El conjunto de Steve Kerr se ha colocado a un solo triunfo de volver a convertirse en campeón del Oeste tras ...

Esto tiene una explicación relativamente sencilla, y es que la gran carga anotadora de Luka tiende a ser resultado del pobre acierto del resto del equipo, que en esta ocasión volvió a hacerle un flaco favor. El base, que ya se fue hasta los 42 en el Game 2, volvió a asumir un enorme peso anotador ante el desacierto de sus compañeros, lo que le hizo firmar su octavo partido de al menos 40 puntos en playoff y superar a Dirk Nowitzki como el jugador de los Mavericks que más veces ha alcanzado dicha cifra en postemporada. Kevon Looney es otra de las ejemplificaciones de esta idea, pues el pívot está siendo un tormento para el juego interior de Dallas con la que posiblemente esté siendo la mejor versión de su carrera.

One win away from returning to the NBA Finals, Stephen Curry says this is the best stretch of basketball this current Golden State Warriors team is playing.

"And Memphis just destroyed us in that Game 5. "In Denver, we played sloppy in the first half," Curry said. "In Memphis, we were outmatched, outgameplanned from the start and didn't respond well until Game 6.

Steve Kerr on Monday told reporters that Otto Porter Jr. currently is being listed as doubtful as the Warriors try to complete the series sweep in Dallas.

Once Porter came out, Kerr turned to a player who has received six DNPs this postseason and whose only extended run has been during the Warriors' 39-point blowout loss to the Grizzlies in Game 5 of the last round. Porter even ran down the hallway following the game to test out his foot after looking to be in real pain when he was forced to leave early. Shortly after the second half began, Porter was ruled out for the rest of the game with left foot soreness. It's been a rough go for Juan. In the postseason he hasn't really had much of a chance. Over 13 games this postseason, including the seven minutes he played Sunday night, Porter is a plus-91. Porter was seen limping, grimacing and holding his left foot early in the second quarter Sunday night in the Warriors' 109-100 Game 3 win.

Now down in a 3-0 hole in the Western Conference Finals, do the Dallas Mavericks have any chance of making this series against the Golden State Warriors ...

The last two seasons though, injuries have derailed their season before it even had a chance to get going, which is a main reason why they have been absent in the postseason. Not to mention, he had 21 points (career-high) and 12 rebounds in Game 2, arguably the best game of Looney’s career in a Warriors' uniform. Maybe they will avoid being swept by Golden State, but as of right now, it is hard to imagine that the Mavericks have anything left to give mentally against the Warriors, especially given that beating the Phoenix Suns was their “NBA Finals” this year. Unfortunately for them, the clock seems like it is about to strike midnight, as Dallas is running out of time quickly against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. Golden State just has more overall talent and more experience late in the postseason than Dallas does, hence why they have dominated this series in every aspect so far. Then in the semifinals, that is when dreams become reality for the Mavericks.

However, fast forward 12 months and Kevin Durant decided to leave in free agency and Klay Thompson blew out a knee during the 2019 NBA Finals (which the ...

Up 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors are now just one win away from resurrecting a dynasty that many believe was dead and gone. During the 2019-20 season, the Warriors were without Klay due to a knee injury and Steph only played in five games due to injuries. After the 2017-18 NBA season, the Golden State Warriors had completed one of the most impressive stretches in league history.
