Al Jazeera
After ousting the Thunder, the Mavericks will now face either Denver or Minnesota in the Western Conference finals.
Luka Doncic posted a triple-double and PJ Washington drilled the deciding free throws as the Dallas Mavericks erased a 17-point deficit to beat Oklahoma City 117-116 to reach the NBA Western Conference finals.
The Mavericks beat the top-seeded Thunder 4-2 on Saturday in the best-of-seven conference semifinal series to reach the conference finals for the second time in three years.
They will face either the defending champions Denver Nuggets or the Minnesota Timberwolves, who faced a deciding game seven in their series on Sunday.
“Being down 17 in a closeout game isn’t a position you want to be in,” said Dallas star Kyrie Irving. “We had to respond the way we’ve responded all season, just playing hard-nosed basketball on the defensive end, getting out in transition and just trusting that our pace would get us back in the game.
“It definitely feels good to get the series done.”
