Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic rallied the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals by dropping 36 points each against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western conference finals.
The Mavericks won their fourth game in the series 124-103 at Target Center in Minneapolis.
"I just had that utmost confidence when I was going to sleep last night and went to shootaround this morning," Irving said, adding: "Just feeling like we were going to play one of our best games."
Serbian star Doncic, who dropped 20 points in the first quarter, shot 14 for 22 and also grabbed 10 rebounds in the game to reach his maiden NBA championship.
The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals on June 6.
The Mavericks will fight for their second NBA title, while the Celtics will play for their 18th championship, which may make them the team with the most NBA championships, passing the Los Angeles Lakers with 17 titles. Anadolu
