Lively saluting his mom there at the end. This guy has been an absolute force for us. I hope he is in a good place mentally.

[camej-zi]

Good to see luka and kyrie prove the media that they can work.

[almightypxe]

PJ washington actually went on a linsanity run

[wcsartanddesign]

Said it before but it's worth repeating... SO proud of DJJ and his journey and look at him now. Keep it up, sir.

[winmar]

Dude this game was intense I was sweating profusely when Shai just casually shooting the lights out esp on that 3. Finally Mavs win and props to OKC they're one tough young team

[nicotorres]

As a Mavs fan, props to SGA, Chet, and the rest of OKC

What a great series, both are so good yet young. SGA proved he is a playoff riser. This might be a rivalry in the making.

Kyrie Irving now 14-0 in close-out games 🕹
An NBA record.

[Anayaaaaa]

PJ, Lively, and DJJ are the role players that the mavs have been wanting for the long time! Glad they arrived!

[Artemis_A-]

Dallas coming back from being down 17 to win the series is beyond my comprehension. They fought for every inch to get to the Western Conference finals

[Jordanpeters_son]

It's not fair how much the hype is around the West. Nuggets Wolves or Mavs OKC all have a finals atmosphere.

[thekismet]

Just wild. Back and forth. Guys competing hard. All the suspense. Best playoffs since 2010 for certain. This is just the 2nd rd. i can't even imagine what the finals will be like.

[ChristopherMikrowelle]

4:20 Its crazy how Luka still got that pass off.

[dantekotsovolos]

Preciate y’all not putting the final score in the thumbnail so it didn’t get spoiled lol since I didn’t get to catch the game live

[Blazintidus]

As a neutral fan, I'm so glad I don't have to watch Lu Dort's bullshit anymore 😂

[ukog]

"There goes Shaq's MVP"

[teckno_senpai]

hats off to this young OKC squad. they are officially HERE to stay. but still inexperienced compared to the Mavs. There are some certified players and coaches on Mavs staff who has been through deep playoff runs and championships, so you can never underestimate that. what a great series!!!! if you love basketball, you gotta ride with the Mavs this year. they are LIT!!!

[Jeff_x]

The fact Shai with all the defensive attention he got NEVER had a bad game in this series is INSANE. Most CONSISTENT superstar in the league.

[VikingKing]

I was born in Oklahoma and I'm not a basketball person but hearing about the Oklahoma City Thunder. I had to become a basketball fan.
We didn't made it to the finals, but they had a good season and it's herpes that they didn't win. But I hope someday I get to see the thunder win the finals soon in the future

Tony Brothers wasn't enough! Lets go
