Road Warriors defy odds, reach Western Conference Finals

Only fifth team seeded lower than fourth to make it this far.

In an extraordinary display of resilience and determination, the Dallas Mavericks have become the first team seeded fifth or lower to reach the Western Conference Finals since 2011. The Mavs, who began the playoffs as the number five seed, have defied expectations by winning two of their three series on the road, including a thrilling seven-game victory over the top-seeded Phoenix Suns in the second round.

Led by the dynamic duo of Luka Dončić and Spencer Dinwiddie, the Mavericks have played with exceptional poise and executed their game plan flawlessly. Despite facing elimination multiple times throughout the playoffs, they have repeatedly shown their mettle and come out on top. Their success is a testament to the team's chemistry, adaptability, and unwavering belief in themselves.

Now, the Mavericks find themselves just two wins away from reaching the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011. They will face the Western Conference's number three seed, the Houston Rockets, in the Western Conference Finals, which begins on Sunday, May 29th.
