WARRIORS EDGE CLOSER

-

STEPHEN Curry and Andrew Wiggins starred as the Golden State Warriors moved to the brink of the NBA finals with a 109-100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

The clinical Warriors performanc­e on the road in Dallas gives Steve Kerr’s team a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference finals series.

No team in the 75-year history of the NBA has ever successful­ly overturned a 3-0 series deficit in the playoffs. Curry led the Warriors scoring with 31 points, 11 assists and five rebounds while Wiggins was exceptiona­l with 27 points and 11 rebounds.

Luka Doncic again delivered a monumental display for Dallas with 40 points, but the Slovenian star will need to conjure something even more miraculous to prevent the Warriors from advancing to a finals showdown against either Boston or Miami.
