Warriors win big, 112-87, over the Mavericks in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Here's what we learned.
Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins had a huge Game 1 in the Western Conference Finals at Chase Center Wednesday night, helping Golden State to a large margin of victory over the Dallas Mavericks. .
But this ain’t Phoenix, and if Luka Dončić and the Dončettes want to make this a series, they’d better clean up their act. The Mavs shot a putrid 23% from three-point land. Even Luka only hit on three of 10 attempts, which won’t be a regular thing, folks. Mavericks guard Luka Dončić had an off night in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, but still led his team in scoring despite a cold night from long-range. .
Jitters? Big-time atmosphere? Sure. There was plenty to spare at Chase Center, which continues to come into its own as a legitimate house of noise, reminiscent of our dearly departed Roaracle at times. When East Bay rapper Too Short came out to perform at half-time, you could close your eyes and dream of Hegenberger Road for a moment.
But like some many before them, the Mavericks felt the wrath of Golden State’s Big Three, and their increasingly impressive supporting cast. Curry wasn’t hitting from outside early on, so he took it to the hole and ended up with a game-high 21 points to go with a team-high 12 rebounds. Thompson was also a bit chilly from deep — one for four all night — but played some crucial defense and found his shot in the mid-range game, ending up with 15 points and a plus/minus ratio 15.
Let’s not forget Jordan Poole and Kevon Looney. The third Splash Brother displayed his usual bag of nifty tricks taking it to the basket, scoring 19.
