NBA Conference Finals | Curry powers Warriors past Mavericks for 2-0 series lead
The Hindu
Stephen Curry scored 32 points, Kevon Looney had a career-high 21 points and the Golden State Warriors used one of their signature third-quarter flurries to rally past the Dallas Mavericks 126-117 for a 2-0 lead in the NBA Western Conference Finals
Luka Doncic had been dominating for most of the night, yelling in celebration and flexing his arms in Stephen Curry’s house. Then Curry and the Golden State Warriors delivered one of those signature third-quarter flurries that have defined so many of their postseason runs—with this one sparked by Kevon Looney.
Just like that, the Warriors are two wins from reaching another NBA Finals.
“Night night,” Curry declared as a 3-pointer went through the net in the waning moments.
Curry scored 32 points with six 3-pointers and eight more rebounds, Looney had a career-high 21 points and 12 rebounds, and the Warriors rallied past the Dallas Mavericks 126-117 on Friday for a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals.
“I feel honored just to be a part of the ride,” Looney said.
Doncic scored 42 points and the Mavericks led most of the way before Golden State grabbed its first lead of the night on Otto Porter Jr.’s 3-pointer 18 seconds into the fourth. Curry could see a momentum shift at that moment.
“We have that attitude and spirit that we’re never out of it," Curry said.
