SAN FRANCISCO Luka Doncic outscored Andrew Wiggins 20-19 in their head-to-head match-up in Game 1 of their National Basketball Association (NBA) Western Conference Finals series Wednesday. However, there was no doubt who the winner was.
Wiggins harassed the Dallas Mavericks star into his lowest output of the post-season, and the Golden State Warriors countered with a balanced and high-percentage offensive attack en route to a 112-87 shellacking in the opening game of the best-of-seven series.
Game 2 is scheduled for today, also in San Francisco, where Golden State, seeking their sixth trip to the NBA Finals in the past eight years, have gone 7-0 so far in the play-offs.
