A rain delay indoors? Game 4 between the Warriors and Mavericks was delayed due to a leak in the roof at the American Airlines Center.
The series will now shift away from a rainy Dallas to the Bay Area for Game 5 on Thursday night. Liquid began to pour down on the court near the Warriors’ bench, causing a pool of water on the court. The ceiling wasn’t the only thing raining on Tuesday night.
Dallas held off Golden State to stave off elimination in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.
Arena workers had to climb up onto the catwalks near the roof and set up a tarp system to catch the water. There are few players who can control a game like Doncic, and he was not going to let the Mavericks lose. Aside from the first half of Game 2, they have not in this series, which is why the Mavericks were down 3-0 and facing elimination. In Game 4 they found their stroke, going 20 of 43 from downtown en route to a series-saving win. Then, play was halted due to a leak in the roof of the American Airlines Center. When play finally did resume, the Mavericks picked up right where they left off and built a 29-point lead with some incredible 3-point shooting. The series, which now stands 3-1 in favor of the Warriors will head back to the Bay Area for Game 5 on Thursday night.
Kevin Wildes of "First Things First" had an interesting comparison for the Mavericks' comeback hopes in the Western Conference finals.
The odd comparison from Wildes came in response to Wright, who laid out his argument for the Mavericks' potential comeback story just seconds before. It’s not an 11 at the blackjack table like Nick is saying,” Wildes said. But if I walked down the stairs and there was an alien eating an egg, a waffle at my table, I would be shocked -- but at the same time, I’d be like, ‘You know what, I’ve heard rumblings.’

Golden State has averaged 117.8 points per game on its home court during the playoffs, and the more the ball is going in, the better Thompson’s chances of clearing this prop get. Despite his recent heroics, the Slovenian superstar is just 4-for-14 beating this ambitious total during the playoffs. If your only advantage is turning the ball over slightly less, you’re probably not in good shape. Prior to the Warriors’ Game 4 loss, they’d outscored the Mavericks by nine points or more in each game, and it’s hard to find a statistical edge for Dallas through the first four games: Skip Advertisement Skip Advertisement
