Match point! Star duo dominates
The Dallas Mavericks also win game three against Minnesota. The Mavs can hardly be denied a place in the NBA Finals.
The Dallas Mavericks, led by superstar Luka Doncic, have one foot in the NBA finals. The Mavs beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-107 in the playoff semifinals and are leading the best-of-seven series 3-0. Never before in the history of the NBA playoffs has a team squandered such a lead.

Nevertheless, Doncic warned after a “great victory”. They are “on the home stretch”, but Minnesota has “a great team. Nothing is done yet”. Dallas can make everything clear on Wednesday (2.30 CEST). Maximilian Kleber was still missing from Dallas due to a shoulder injury.
Irving and Doncic stand out with 33 points
Doncic was once again instrumental in the Mavs’ victory in the Western Conference finals. The Slovenian scored 33 points, just like Kyrie Irving. He also had seven rebounds and five assists. Anthony Edwards was the top scorer for the Timberwolves, who dethroned defending champions Denver Nuggets and three-time MVP Nikola Jokic in the quarterfinals after a strong comeback.
The Mavs are dreaming of the second title in franchise history. The Texans last reached the Conference Final in 2022, but lost to the Golden State Warriors. The Texans’ only title to date came in 2011, led by German superstar Nowitzki.

In the Eastern final, the main round winners Boston Celtics are on the verge of reaching the final. Jason Tatum’s team also leads the series against the Indiana Pacers 3-0.
