Dallas Mavericks rally to eliminate Oklahoma City Thunder

DALLAS -- For the second time in three seasons, Luka Doncic has led the Dallas Mavericks to the Western Conference finals.

Doncic is surrounded by a drastically different supporting cast in this case, headlined by his co-star, Kyrie Irving.

Irving and Doncic combined for 51 points and 13 assists in the 117-116 Game 6 win Saturday, eliminating the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder. As was the case throughout the series, role players in their first season on the Dallas roster made critical contributions as the Mavs came back from a 17-point second-half deficit.
