Dallas Mavericks Beat Phoenix Suns to Reach Western Conference Finals

The Western Conference finals are underway, and we finally know who’s going to take part in this highly-anticipated series of games. The Dallas Mavericks are set to face the Golden State Warriors after scoring a dominant win against the Phoenix Suns in Game 7. The Suns didn’t even come close to Dallas on Sunday night, as they took a dominant lead by halftime and eventually won 123-90. The Mavericks owe their latest win to Luka Doncic, who scored 35 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists in just 30 minutes on the court. Doncic had a time of his life leading his team to this victory on Sunday night and said he’s “really happy” after helping the Mavs secure a spot in the Western Conference finals. "Honestly, I think we deserve this. We've been playing hard the whole series. Maybe a couple of games here we weren't ourselves, but we came here with a statement in Game 7. We believed. Our locker room believed. Everybody believed. So I'm just happy," said Doncic. The Mavericks will meet the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals after they defeated the Memphis Grizzlies to secure a spot in the next round. The Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics are set to face each other in the Eastern Conference finals.
