Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the young Oklahoma City Thunder team fought hard against the Dallas Mavericks, but all-star Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving will head to the Western Conference finals once again.
After two electrifying Game 7 events, the Indiana Pacers secured their Eastern Conference finals spot by beating the New York Knicks, and Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves will head to the Western Conference finals, stopping last year's NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets.
