Dallas Mavericks 133, Golden State Warriors 103
Luka Doncic scored 23 of his 39 points in the third quarter as the Mavericks cruised past the Warriors to make it four wins from their past five games.
He added eight assists and six rebounds on the night, while Steph Curry led the Warriors with 27 points.
A 28-0 run in the first half blew the game open as the Mavs held the Warriors to just 29 first-half points — their lowest-scoring half in the Steve Kerr era.
According to @EliasSports, the Mavericks 28-0 run is tied for the 2nd-longest scoring run by any team over the last 20 seasons and the longest since the Knicks went on a 28-0 run against the Raptors on Nov. 22, 2017. pic.twitter.com/NCWvDzFZuD
