Dorian Finney-Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr. combined for 31 points
and six 3-pointers in the Mavericks' fourth straight win.
In holding the Warriors to a season-low point total, the Dallas
defense shackled Stephen Curry into 1-for-9 shooting on
3-pointers and Golden State to 5-for-28 overall from beyond the
arc, outscoring the visitors 36-15 on threes.
Ten of Doncic's points came on 12 free-throw attempts as he
almost single-handedly outscored the Warriors (11-for-16) at the
line. Dallas finished 21-for-26 from the charity stripe.
In handing the Warriors just the second loss in their last seven
games, the Mavericks led by as many as 14 in the second quarter
and 50-39 at the break before Golden State made its biggest push
in the third period.
Curry and Gary Payton II had seven points apiece and Andrew
Wiggins chipped in six as the Warriors opened the second half
with a 24-6 flurry that opened a 63-56 lead.
But Finney-Smith immediately countered with a 3-pointer and
Dallas finished the period on a 14-4 run to grab a lead it never
relinquished.
Finney-Smith totaled 17 points on 4-of-7 shooting from long
range, while Jalen Brunson had 15 points and Hardaway 14 for the
Mavericks, who had been 1-11 this season when getting held under
100 points.
Dallas shot 12-for-40 on 3-pointers.
Doncic complemented his 26 points with seven rebounds and a
game-high eight assists, while Maxi Kleber grabbed a team-high
10 rebounds.
Wiggins led the Warriors with 17 points, while Curry, who was
held to a season-low nine points in Monday's home win over
Miami, totaled just 14 on 5-of-24 shooting.
Payton chipped in with 11 points as part of a double-double with
a team-high 11 rebounds for Golden State, which was held under
100 points for just the fourth time this season. The Warriors
are 0-4 in those games.
