The Dallas Mavericks, Indiana
Pacers, and Minnesota Timberwolves pulled through in their
respective fashions to book their tickets to the Conference Finals
on Saturday and Sunday nights on Day 28 and 29 of the 2024 NBA
Playoffs.
The Mavericks squeaked past the
pesky West no.1 seed OKC Thunder as they survived them at home in a
1-point victory. SGA, who was clearly the best player on both teams
for the entire series, committed a costly mistake in the game’s
waning seconds after fouling PJ Washington shooting a three.
Washington made the first two to put the Mavericks up by one and
then missed the third attempt with the Thunder having no timeouts
left.
The Pacers probably played the
game of their life in Game 7 on the road at Madison Square Garden.
They shot the best mark in a Game 7 at 70+ percent to defeat the
New York Knicks who were nursing several injuries to
players.
The Timberwolves completed the
largest Game 7 comeback of all time to beat the defending champions
Denver Nuggets on their home floor. After being down by 20 early in
the third quarter, Minnesota unleashed a 60-32 run to end the game
and take the huge victory.
