THE RUB

The Mavericks can advance to the Conference Finals with a win tonight as they host the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Semi-Finals at American Airlines Center.

The Mavericks secured a 104-92 win at Paycom Center on Wednesday, taking a 3-2 series lead.

Key to the game was three-point shooting; Dallas hit 14-35 (40.0%) from deep, while Oklahoma City managed just 10-40 (25.0%). This poor shooting performance led to the Thunder being outrebounded 46-33 by the Mavericks.

Luka Doncic was outstanding, with a 31-point, 10-rebound, 11-assist triple-double. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the Thunder’s top performer with 30 points, six rebounds, and eight assists.
