Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks got their sweet revenge on the Golden State Warriors tonight. In the Western Conference Finals rematch, the reigning champions went down in a close battle. It was yet again a point guard showdown both Doncic and Stephen Curry led the way. The war was intense. Likewise, some players are left bruised.
