A huge comeback to close the series.
Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference finals, after a splendid as well as painful victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder who also had closed the NBA Regular Season with the best overall record in the West. Game 6 ends 117-116 for the Texas franchise, which closes the series on 4-2, for the second time in three years reaches the last conference act and now waits to know its rival between Denver Nuggets or Minnesota Timberwolves.
The challenge, as can be imagined from the final result, proves to be extremely intense. But Dallas doesn't just win it with only a one-point gap over its opponents: in fact, Oklahoma City dreams for a long time of the victory that would keep the series open, suffering forò the comeback of Luka Doncic, PJ Washington and their teammates after ending the first half leading by 16 points and even finding themselves on +17 after three minutes from the beginning of the third period.
The Mavericks’ comeback was accomplished already during the fourth quarter, and to sign it è a PJ Washington who by no means zeroes in on his best game of the year (he closes with 9 points, all coming right in the fourth period). His forò the foul earned with 2.5 seconds left and his also the two transformations (out of three) to score that give decisive overtaking, victory and passage of the round to Dallas.
Best in the field è forò once again Luka Doncic, who scores a triple double, his fourth since the start of the playoffs (29 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds). On the other hand, an impressive 36 points were recorded by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, which were not enough forò the Thunder to continue their extraordinary NBA season path to the Western Conference finals.
