Skip Bayless mocks Luka Doncic
Skip Bayless was quick to admire Luka Doncic’s scintillating performance when he got rid of the Phoenix Suns to land the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals. Ironically, he was also one of the first people to mock Doncic on his dismal display against the Warriors. The Mavericks from Dallas locked horns with the Warriors from the Golden State, to pave the way for the greatest stage in NBA. The Golden State Warriors took a 1-0 lead over the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference finals with an emphatic 112-87 win in Game 1 on Wednesday night, with Steph Curry running the show in Chase Centre.
A ruthless start to the game meant an enthralling contest between the two teams with neither backing down. Although the Warriors led for the majority of the first half, the Mavericks only trailed by 9 points at halftime, still well within striking distance. Vintage Golden State Warriors was on display in the 3rd quarter, as the Warriors marauded there way through the confused Dallas defense. With Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole stepping up to the occasion with 19 points each, the Warriors were undoubtedly superior
Stephen Curry set the court ablaze with his dazzling shots and dribbles, leading a 10-0 scoring spree to fully break the back of Dallas’s defense. The onslaught continued throughout the last quarter as the Warriors amassed a 30-point advantage. Curry finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds and even dished out 4 assists to spearhead a steely-eyed Warriors attack that had 7 double-figure scorers. Luka Doncic had 20 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists , as Jalen Brunson added 14 points in what was one of the worst offensive performances of the playoffs for the Mavs.

From contesting a shot while defending , or scoring from the paint in offense, Wiggins was everywhere on the court. While Dallas couldn’t convert more than 15% of their 20 three-point attempts in the first half, down from 40.9 %, they also couldn’t do much defensively the whole game, which Wiggins was disrupting every moment.

Irrespective of all the controversy and criticism, Wiggins seized the night and made it one to remember.
