The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6, forcing a Game 7. The Dallas Mavericks, who swept the Los Angeles Lakers five days ago, will have to wait until Sunday to find out who their opponent will be for the Western Conference Title.
The Mavericks have one W.C. championship to their credit: 2006. The Grizzlies have none. The Thunder have three – but as the Seattle SuperSonics.
Yesterday, Sports List of the Day looked at the teams with the most NBA Eastern Conference Titles. Today it’s the West’s turn. It’s a one-horse race.
