After winning the first three games of the Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors were unable to complete the sweep of the Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavs maintained a comfortable lead over the Dubs for most of the game as Luka Dončić controlled the tempo and Steph Curry struggled with his shooting.
Despite mounting an impressive comeback and closing what was often a 20-point gulf to a single-digit margin, the Mavericks forced Game 5 by defeating Golden State 119 to 109.
