Warriors celebrate comeback

The Golden State Warriors also won the second game of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks. The team around Stephen Curry caught up with a 19-point deficit.

The guests from Dallas took a dream start and led after six minutes with 15 points (8:23). The MAVs held this lead until half -time (58:72), which they owed to a strong hit rate. Dallas converted 15 threesome in the first half-more than ever before in a playoff half before. The team of coach Jason Kidd pulled the basket compared to the first game of the series aggressive and thus played out better throws. Superstar Luka Doncic ended the first half with 24 points. His backcourt partner Jalen Brunson had 21 points on the account, Warriors leader Stephen Curry their 20.

mavs cool down, Warriors turn the game

As hot the Mavs were in the first half, the guests cooled down in the third quarter. Dallas trodes only two out of 13 threes and a total of five out of 19 field throws. The Warriors took advantage of this and reduced the 14-point half-time referee in the twelve minutes to just one (85:86). Even as a Draymond Green, foul problems got out of the concept. Instead, Kevon Looney came into play and did his job outstanding (21 PKT, 12 Reb).

With the first attack in the final quarter, Golden State went to the front for the first time thanks to a transformed threesome from Otto Porter Jr. And the hosts were no longer given the lead. Dallas recovered from the weak phase in the offense and was mainly held in the game by Doncic. But the Mavs did not get stops in the defense. The Warriors played an excellent final quarter (43:32), in which they made significantly fewer ball losses and met 15 out of 19 litters.

In the end, the Warriors drove a 126:117 success despite an interim 19point deficit. The team's top scorer was Curry with 32 points (11/21 FG, 6/10 3FG), eight rebounds and five assists. On the other hand, Doncic came up to 42 points (12/23 FG, 5/10 3FG), eight assists and five rebounds. In game three in the night of Monday, the Mavs are condemned to win to keep the dream of the NBA finals alive.
