The Dallas Mavericks are just one win away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 2011, following a 116-107 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. The combined prowess of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic proved too much for the Timberwolves, pushing the Dallas Mavericks to a commanding 3-0 series lead.

Life in Texas suits Kyrie Irving.

Following the Mavericks' 116-107 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday, Irving spoke about how much he and his family are enjoying their time in Dallas.

"I feel like it's a great chapter that's being written right now," Irving said. "I'm enjoying every step of the way, I'm not taking anything for granted. I'm enjoying the hot weather right now, I'm enjoying the Dallas community, and the fans here. You know we talked about this earlier in the season, just how much I felt embraced, but I think it's gone a little deeper than that. It's really helped me grow as a human being and find my peace out here.

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors had their season come to an end Tuesday night with a 118–94 loss to the Sacramento Kings in the NBA play-in tournament.

It didn't take long for people to wonder if the loss marked the end of a special era that saw Curry and Klay Thompson team up for years as the "Splash Brothers" while winning four NBA titles. Thompson, who went scoreless in 32 minutes of action against the Kings, is set to hit free agency this summer and his future with the Warriors is very much in doubt.

Iverson spent his first 12 years in the league with the team and won the NBA Rookie of the Year award in 1997. He was a four-time scoring champion and a member of the NBA 75th anniversary team.

In the incident in question, Green went up to contest Lakers’ Austin Reaves’s lay-up and fell to the ground after Reaves appeared to swing his elbow toward Green’s face while making the basket.
