Basketball superstar Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks suffered a setback in the conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs.
The Texans lost at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder 96:100 on Monday evening (May 13, 2024, local time) and had to accept the equalizer to 2-2 in the “best-of-seven” series. The fifth game takes place in Oklahoma.
Doncic achieved a triple-double, but the Slovenian could not avert the second defeat in the series despite 18 points, twelve rebounds and ten assists. The best thrower for the Mavericks, who are missing Maximilian Kleber for a long time due to a sprained acromioclavicular joint, was PJ Washington with 21 points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander excelled with 34 points for Oklahoma City.
Match point for Boston against Cleveland
The Boston Celtics, however, are only one win away from the conference finals after beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 109:102. In front of superstar and ex-Cavaliers player LeBron James, currently under contract with the Los Angels Lakers, Jaylen Brown with 27 points and Jayson Tatum with 33 points played a major role in Boston’s success. Darius Garland stood out for the Cavaliers with 30 points. In the best-of-seven series, Boston is now leading 3-1 and has the chance to convert the first match point in front of their home crowd.
