The Golden State Warriors faced the Dallas Mavericks in one of the best Thursday night games in the NBA, as it was the game between two of the best guards in the league. Stephen Curry, who has finally recovered from his injuries, comes face to face with Luka Doncic, the man of the records.
In addition to what the game pulled from the surnames, it turned out to be fundamental to qualifying for the playoffs. Both the Warrios and Mavericks entered the game outside of the top eight in the Western Conference, so a victory or defeat, as a direct rival, could change things a lot.
The game started the first quarter with virtually no defense. As usual during the season, the two teams were on the sidelines to avoid runs, although they were very effective when it came to scoring them. The 36-34 at the end of the first 12 minutes in favor of the visit are proof of this.
The Mavericks tweaked a few things and peaked in the second quarter (66-59), with the first half turning 110-95. However, Golden State Warriors returned to the offensive and scored a 36-20 run for everything in the second half and third quarter. Too much difference, Stephen Curry and his company took the game 147-116.
Stephen Curry also scored more than Luka Doncic
Stephen Curry signed a selection of 28 points and 6 assists, although the game’s top scorer was Kelly Oubre Jr. The attacker surprised everyone and scored 40 points, while Juan Toscano did his thing with 14. On the other hand, Luka Doncic added 27 points and was nowhere near double doubles.
