Dallas overcame a 17-point deficit to defeat Oklahoma City 117-116 on Saturday to win the series 4-2 and advance to the Western Conference Finals.
With two rebounds, three assists, and twenty-two points, Kyrie Irving finished.
Coming off the bench, Dereck Lively had an outstanding performance, going 5–6 for 12 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block. Lively wrote, “Love u Momma,” on Instagram following the game. I miss you, mother. Simply relax and watch.
As you are well aware, Lively lost his incredibly close mother to cancer not too long ago.
In the seventh game of the series, Wendell Moore and Minnesota will take on Denver on Sunday. Whoever wins in the West will not be representing Duke in the Finals if Minnesota prevails. And at least one player who attended Duke will receive a ring if Jayson Tatum and Boston win the East as well.
