What NBA Playoff games are on today, Friday 20 May?
Both Conference Finals are up and running as we head into an important Game 2 in Los Angeles, California.
It’s time for Game 2 in the Western Conference finals between the Golden State Warriors - who gained home-court advantage from their regular season performance - and the Dallas Mavericks. The home team are looking to take a commanding lead when they host their Dallas rivals on Friday night.
Mavericks @ Warriors: Game 2
With their 112-87 romp over the Mavericks in the best-of-seven opener Wednesday, the Warriors moved within one of becoming just the fifth franchise in NBA history to record 200 postseason wins. The Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs currently are the only members of the exclusive 200 Club.
In rolling to a seventh straight triumph at home this postseason, the Warriors dominated the Mavericks in almost every aspect of Game 1, outshooting them 56.1 percent to 36.0 percent overall and 34.5 percent to 22.9 percent on 3-pointers. They also outrebounded the Mavs 51-35.
Andrew Wiggins was the defensive leader with his effort on Mavericks star Luka Doncic, limiting him to a postseason-low 20 points on 6-for-18 shooting. But Warriors coach Steve Kerr doesn’t necessarily expect more of the same moving forward.
The game starts at 9 pm ET / 6 pm PT and will be shown on TNT.
