The Golden State Warriors have pushed the Dallas Mavericks to the brink of elimination in the Western Conference Finals after Sunday’s 109-100 Game 3 win. But by the sound of what the team’s head coach and players are saying, it sure seems like Dallas has already accepted its fate.
Head coach Jason Kidd spoke with reporters after the loss that put his team down 3-0 in the series — no NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 series deficit in league history — and started waxing poetic about the journey this team has gone through, despite it technically not being officially over yet.
