The Dallas Mavericks fell in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals to the Golden State Warriors, 120-110. Klay Thompson led a balanced Warriors attack with 32 points. Luka Doncic was the high point man for Dallas, scoring 28 but on 28 shots.
The Dallas defense was sloppy to start the game, giving up rim looks and open threes as the Warriors got off to a fast 14-5 start. The Mavericks chipped away at the lead, pulling back within two a pair of times, but Luka Doncic and other Mavericks struggled near the rim with the referees really letting both teams play physically.
