The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Golden State Warriors 119-109 Tuesday night, fending off a sweep in the NBA’s Western Conference Finals.

Luka Doncic led Dallas with 30 points and 14 rebounds, and Dorian Finney-Smith added 23 points.

Golden State now leads 3 games to 1, with Game 5 set for Thursday night in California. No NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series.

Warriors' Kerr Speaks Out About Shooting

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made an emotional plea for action Tuesday after the shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead.

Speaking at his pregame news conference before Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, Kerr didn’t want to talk basketball, but addressed the mass shooting instead.

Slamming his fist on the table, Kerry yelled, “When are we going to do something? . . . I’m fed up. I’ve had enough.”

Kerr has long been outspoken against gun violence and for the reform of gun laws.
