The Golden State Warriors have put their mark on the series after taking both games at home. However, they had totally different nights on both occasions. While the first game was a blowout, the Bay had to fight out in Game 2. Led by the heroics of Stephen Curry, they were able to fend off Luka Doncic and the Mavericks. After hitting yet another clutch dagger, Curry brought out his tradition. He put the Mavericks to bed after wrapping up an impressive comeback victory in Game 2.
After an embarrassing loss in Game 1, the Mavericks came out swinging. They led by as much as 19 points at one point in Game 2. Most had written off the Warriors as they fell apart in the second half. However, the three-time champions brought out their winning mentality. Not giving up, they climbed back into the game faster than the Mavericks saw coming. They attacked from out of nowhere and caught Luka and the Mavericks off guard.

In addition, after putting on the finishing touches on the game, Stephen Curry gave a classic send-off to Dallas.
Stephen Curry put the Mavericks to sleep after leading the Warriors in a comeback win
For the most part, Steph is always quiet on the floor. He doesn’t engage in much talking or stir up the heat. However, at the bottom of it all, the Baby Face Assassin has the will to do anything to win. And his cold-hearted killer comes to the front in tough situations. So repeating his theatrics against the Grizzlies, Curry hit yet another dagger in these playoffs.
Moreover, in the most Curry way, he did his signature go to sleep celebration after putting a dagger through the Mavericks’ hearts. The Chef was cooking all night as he led the way for a Bay comeback in the Western Conference Finals. Grabbing both games at home, the Warriors can fly into Dallas with a truckload of confidence on their back.
