The Golden State Warriors are BACK in the Western Conference Finals to face the dangerous Dallas Mavericks for a chance to make the NBA Finals. This is Dallas’ first trip to the WCF since the 2011 season, when they knocked off the Oklahoma City Thunder before defeating the Miami Heat in the championship round.
Meanwhile Golden State has gone to five conference finals since then, going undefeated 5-0.
- In 2015, the Dubs knocked off the Houston Rockets 4-2. That series is probably most notable for James Harden setting the NBA record for most turnovers in a playoff game.
