It's game day! Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Mavericks tips off shortly. Get ready for the matchup:
Doncic and Mavs great Dirk Nowitzki, who led Dallas to the 2011 title, shared a moment on the court in Phoenix after Game 7. At 24, the big German was a year older than Doncic when he reached the West finals for the first time with the Mavericks in 2003. Dallas lost to San Antonio in six games and Nowitzki missed the last three with a knee injury.
It’s also a breakthrough of sorts for the Mavs' Jason Kidd, who is in his first season as coach of the team he helped win a title as point guard. Kidd led Brooklyn to the second round as a rookie coach in 2013-14, the season after the Hall of Famer retired as a player. Kidd couldn’t get Milwaukee out of the first round in two tries over three seasons. He was fired during his fourth season with the Bucks.
Golden State ended a franchise-worst 12-year playoff drought that season and won a best-of-seven series for the first time in 31 years. "It’s been the No. 1 key on our board for about 72 straight games so there’s no point. I think if I don’t say anything then we’re going to take care of the ball,” Kerr said.
