Warriors Return to NBA Finals With Game 5 Win Over Mavericks (120-110)

They’re back! The Dub Dynasty returns for another shot in the NBA Finals. The Warriors — after  five straight trips and three titles from 2015-2019 — are back in the Finals after two years removed from the playoffs. Golden State ousted the Mavericks in Game 5 (120-110) behind a 32-point night from Klay Thompson (8-for-16, 3-pt). The Warriors pulled away by 17 at halftime before Dallas made it interesting, but it’s the Dubs atop the Western Conference. They’ll await the winner of the Celtics-Heat series, which could see Boston punching their ticket tonight. GSW Wins Series (4-1)
