NBA play-offs
Boston awaits in the final! Dallas capitalizes on match point
The Dallas Mavericks have converted their second match point against the Minnesota Timberwolves and are through to the NBA finals against record champions Boston Celtics.
Luka Doncic once again stood out for the Texans in their 124:103 away win in Minneapolis on Thursday to make it 4:1 in the series. The Slovenian scored 36 points, 20 of them in the first quarter alone, in which Minnesota only managed 19 points as a team.
Dallas last reached the final 13 years ago - and won back then. The outstanding player in the 2011 title win was the German Dirk Nowitzki. The final series against the Eastern Conference winners Boston begins on June 6 in Boston.

The Celtics, joint record holders with the Los Angeles Lakers with 17 titles, were the best team in the basic round with 64 wins and only 18 defeats and enjoy home court for the first two games.
Dallas finished fifth in the Western Conference with a record of 50 wins and 32 defeats. However, the team from Texas made the necessary improvement in the decisive phase of the championship. In the first two play-off rounds, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thuners were both eliminated with 4:2 victories, in the semi-finals the Minnesota Timberwolves with 4:1.
