Warriors on brink as Curry, Wiggins sink Mavs

Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins starred as the Golden State Warriors moved to the brink of the NBA Finals on Sunday with a 109-100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

Andrew Wiggins #22 of the Golden State Warriors dunks the ball against Luka Doncic #77 of the Dallas Mavericks during the fourth quarter in Game Three of the 2022 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Finals at American Airlines Center on May 22, 2022 in Dallas, Texas. Ron Jenkins/Getty Images/AFP

The clinical Warriors performance on the road in Dallas gives Steve Kerr’s team a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference finals series.

No team in the 75-year history of the NBA has ever successfully overturned a 3-0 series deficit in the playoffs.

Curry led the Warriors scoring with 31 points, 11 assists and five rebounds while Wiggins was exceptional with 27 points and 11 rebounds.

Klay Thompson also came up big with 19 points while Draymond Green and Jordan Poole added 10 points apiece.

Luka Doncic once again delivered a monumental display for Dallas with 40 points, but the Slovenian star will need to conjure something even more miraculous to prevent the Warriors from advancing to an NBA finals showdown against either Boston or Miami.

“That was just a great team win,” Curry said afterwards.

“When you’re up 2-0 and you win on the road, it gives you a stranglehold and control of the series. That’s huge.

“We obviously know that the job’s not done, but it’s a good feeling to know that we can play with house money on Tuesday (in game four) and try and get the job done.”

After taking a 48-47 half-time lead, the Warriors took a decisive grip on the game in the third quarter.

Curry drained 11 points as the Warriors outscored Dallas 30-21 in the third to lead by 10 heading into the fourth at 78-68.

That margin proved to be enough as the Warriors maintained their composure during the fourth quarter to keep the Mavs at arm’s length.

Wiggins produced a highlight-reel worthy moment mid-way through the final quarter with a monstrous one-handed dunk over Doncic.

The bucket was initially ruled out for an offensive foul but Warriors coach Kerr successfully challenged the call to leave the Warriors 10 points clear at 93-83.

Soon afterwards Wiggins punished a rash challenge from Doncic to claim three free throws and leave Golden State 102-89 ahead with just over four minutes remaining.

There was a nervous moment for Golden State when Spencer Dinwiddie nailed a three-pointer with just over a minute remaining to make it a five-point game at 104-99.

But the Warriors response was ruthless, Poole making a soul-destroying three-pointer to restore Golden State’s eight-point advantage and effectively ice the game with 54 seconds left on the clock.

Game four in the series takes place in Dallas on Tuesday.
