Mavericks Aim to Extend Series Lead Over Top-Seeded Thunder
Pressure Mounts for Dallas in Game 4
Must-Win Game for Oklahoma City
The Dallas Mavericks are looking to extend their series lead over the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series. The Mavericks have won the first three games of the series, putting them on the cusp of a potential sweep.
However, the Thunder, led by reigning MVP Kevin Durant, are not going down without a fight. They are facing a must-win situation in Game 4 and will be desperate to avoid falling further behind.
The Mavericks have been led by the strong play of guard Luka Dončić, who is averaging 30.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game in the series. Kristaps Porzingis has also been a key contributor, putting up 22.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.
The Thunder will need to find a way to slow down Dončić and Porzingis if they want to have a chance of winning Game 4. They will also need to get more production from their role players, who have struggled to consistently make an impact in the series.
Game 4 of the series is scheduled to tip off at 8:30 p.m. CT on ESPN.
