The Dallas Mavericks begin play in their first Western Conference Finals since 2011 on Wednesday in San Francisco.

Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors is scheduled for 8 p.m. at the Chase Center.

In fact, every game of the best-of-seven series, if necessary, will have an 8 p.m. tip, except a Game 7, which would start at 7 p.m. on May 30.

The fourth-seeded Mavs blew out the Phoenix Suns 123-90 on the road Sunday night in Game 7 of their semifinal series to advance. It’s the first time Dallas has reached the conference finals since their lone NBA Championship season in 2011. In fact, until this season, the Mavs hadn’t won a playoff series since 2011.

All seven WCF games, if necessary, will air on TNT.

The Mavericks and Warriors have played one time in the playoffs. Golden State won the first-round series 4-2 in 2006-07.
