SAN FRANCISCO — Luka Doncic was all smiles Sunday after the Dallas Mavericks eliminated the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference semifinals with a thunderous 123-90 victory in Game 7.
The Mavs’ superstar point guard was still smiling following Tuesday’s practice at the Chase Center. Why?
Because Doncic and the Mavs will face the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Game 1 of a best-of-seven series in the Western Conference Finals. It’s a game the overwhelming majority of folks who know basketball didn’t expect the Mavs would be a part of.
