The good news for Dallas, though, is that it managed to score 30 more points in game 2 than game 1. Unfortunately, Golden State also upped its total, winning 126 to 117.

And in the first half, it seemed like Doncic had cracked the code. Loud and proud and winning (up 72-58) on the road and in Steph Curry's house, the Mavericks were looking like they could tie things up. But then the drought came. 

Golden State limited Dallas to a mere 13 points in the third quarter, and strong shooting brought them to within 2, 85-83. This run was led by Kevon Looney, who scored a career-high 21 points with 12 rebounds. Curry also led, with 32 points including six 3s.

As for Doncic's actually shooting? Well, he ended the night 12 for 23, but the Warriors posted that kind of accuracy as a team: 56.1% shooting from the floor overall! Doncic still needs more help, though, if they're going to match the Warriors.

The Warriors enter game 3 up 2-0, so nobody remembers the Mavs' 3-1 record from the regular season. Dallas is a 3-point favorite in Game 3 at home. The over/under is 2017.

If you've already cut the cord and don't have a cable package? With the right pick from our best cable TV alternatives, you'll be able to watch all of these games. But for as much as we like FuboTV, it fails here without TNT, a must have for NBA fanatics.

Instead, you should get Sling TV, one of the best streaming services. ESPN and TNT are both included in the Sling Orange package, which costs $35, which is pretty low for live TV services (and the lowest rate for one with ESPN).

You could also pull down ABC with one of the best TV antennas.

NBA fans in the U.K. need look no further than Sky Sports for all their Playoff needs. Sky will be showing all games on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Arena, though the timings aren't great for U.K. fans, with games typically starting at 1.30 a.m. BST.

If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. You'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

You could also consider the Sky NBA League Pass, which offers every NBA game for just £14.99/month, plus loads of extra features including archived games on demand — helpful if you want to watch the next day — condensed replays and more. 

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky sub, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £9.99 or month-long access for £33.99 but Sky is currently offering a great deal here: you can sign up for six months of access for just £25/month right now. Now Sports is available on virtually every streaming device out there and is a great option if you don't already have Sky. 

Not in the U.K. right now? You may need a little help from a service such as ExpressVPN.

Aussies can watch the Warriors vs Mavericks live stream on Kayo Sports, which has every one of the NBA Conference playoff games this year. But beware the time difference: you'll need to go by the above lists and add 14 hours to convert ET to AEST — which would mean this game is at 11 a.m. AEST.

Kayo offers a 14-day free trial for both its Basic and Premium plans, more than enough time to watch the playoffs. The Basic package costs $25 per month thereafter. 

The $35 per month Premium Kayo plan gives you all the same things as the normal plan, but it offers three simultaneous streams. The Basic plan gives you two streams at the same time. 

Not in Australia but usually a Kayo subscriber? You may need a little help from a service such as ExpressVPN.
