Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson Leave Ja Morant, Trae Young and Other NBA Stars in Utter Disbelief After Epic Comeback vs Luka Doncic’s Mavericks
Follow Us
The Warriors hosted the Mavs in Game 2 of the West Finals, and this game was full of sequences. After taking a 1-0 lead, the Dubs had to protect the home-court advantage in game 2. The Mavs had defeated the heavily favored Phoenix Suns in round 2 and, considering the same, the Warriors probably had expected the Mavs’ incoming wrath.
The first half belonged to the Mavs. Doncic couldn’t be stopped same with Jalen Brunson and Finney Smith. The Warriors had to come back to protect the advantage, or they would have had a hard time in Dallas. And so they did.

This specific game and the GSW comeback isn't just about difference in offensive firepower. Imo it's more about experience. About levels. GSW just has another gear ⚙️ #GSWvsMAVS

Dallas shot the ball insanely well for a big lead in the first half and still lose this game by 9.
Warriors are not the Suns.
No quit.

Games 3 and 4 will be crucial for the Mavs
Despite Luka and Brunson’s 73 points combined, Mavs took a hard hit. Dallas was leading by 14 in the first half. In the second half, the Warriors outscored them by 23 points. Stephen Curry scored 32 points, splashing 6 of 10 threes, while his teammate, Jordan Poole put up 23 points. Though a surprising performance by Kevon Looney, who scored 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, helped the Dubs take the W.
The Warriors are up 2-0, heading to Dallas for games 3 and 4. The Mavs performed great in the first half, and if they do the same in Dallas, they might as well win game 3. The Warriors’ 9-point win came behind Draymond Green‘s defensive efforts. He was fouled out in the fourth quarter, exiting the game with 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.
