The Dallas Mavericks are through to basketball's NBA finals for only the second time, having beaten the Oklahoma City Thunder 100-96 to win the Western Conference title on Wednesday.

The Mavericks came from eight points behind in the final quarter to win the best-of-seven series 4-1 where they'll play either the Miami Heat or the Chicago Bulls in the NBA finals.

The Mavericks have not won an NBA title nor have any of their players.
