Just to be clear ...
I do not expect Golden State to go 5-0 in their remaining games. I was merely pointing out that a 4-1 finish by the Mavs would not "clinch the the 3rd seed for sure," if the expression "for sure" means "probability = 100%" (which is the commonly accepted mathematical meaning of that expression).
