Warriors Bury Luka Doncic & The Mavericks in Game 1 (112-87)

The Western Conference finals tipped off Wednesday night in San Francisco, and it was all Warriors in Game 1. The Dubs look poised to roll Dallas, but the Mavs have proven their fight-back mentality through the first two rounds. Golden State’s defense locked down Luka Doncic (20 points) in Game 1, holding him to just 6-for-18 shooting while the Mavs shot just 22.9 percent from 3 as a whole (11-for-48). Andrew Wiggins was the primary defender on Doncic to keep him in check. The Warriors had seven players in double figures, including 21 points and 12 boards from Steph Curry to lead the charge. If Game 1 was any indication, things will be over quick in the West.
