Mavs eliminate Suns in Game 7, earn spot against Warriors in Western Conference Finals

The stage for the NBA’s Western Conference Finals is officially set.

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks will meet the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 edition of the NBA’s Western Conference Finals.

In a win-or-go-home Game 7 scenario on the road, the Mavs wasted no time punching their ticket against the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. Doncic and the Mavs jumped on the Phoenix Suns out of the gate. Behind a barrage of triples from Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie, the Mavs held a 30-point lead at halftime.

The Suns continued to stay quiet in the second half as the Mavs eliminated the defending Western Conference champs with a 123-90 victory.

Via @warriors on Twitter:

Doncic led all scorers with 35 points on 12-of-19 shooting from the floor with six 3-points. The All-Star guard added 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 30 minutes. Dinwiddie tacked on 30 points on 11-of-15 shooting from the floor in 25 minutes off the bench.

With the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds eliminated in the West, The Warriors will now hold home-court advantage against the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals.

Game 1 is set to tip-off at 6 p.m. PT at San Francisco’s Chase Center on Wednesday, May 18.
