    The Golden State Warriors appear headed to the NBA finals


    They're one win away, after beating the Dallas Mavericks 109-100 in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals... to take a 3-nil lead in the best of 7 series.

    Golden State can seal a whitewash on Wednesday.

    The Miami Heat lead the Boston Celtics 2-1 in the Eastern finals - they play again tomorrow.
