San Francisco: Wow, what a game! The Warriors and Mavericks really put on a show at the Chase Center. It was a high-scoring affair that had everyone on the edge of their seats.
They broke the NBA record for the most three-pointers made in a game, with a jaw-dropping 48 shots from beyond the arc. The Warriors hit 27 of those, which is just insane!
In the first half alone, they made 18 three-pointers, setting a new franchise record. The Mavericks weren’t far behind, nailing 12 in the same half. It was a three-point fest!
But Luka Dončić was the star of the night. He dropped a triple-double by the third quarter, finishing with 45 points, 13 assists, and 11 rebounds. That’s his ninth 40-point triple-double, which is pretty impressive.
Klay Thompson, who used to play for the Warriors, scored a season-high 29 points for the Mavericks. Kyrie Irving also chipped in with 21 points. The Mavericks led the game from start to finish, making 14 of their first 19 shots.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr had to give credit where it was due, saying, “The issue was Luka Dončić. He was incredible.” It’s hard to argue with that after a performance like that!
Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors with 29 points, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win. They’ve been struggling lately, losing eight of their last ten games. Next up, they’ll face the Memphis Grizzlies.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks will host the Los Angeles Clippers. It’s going to be exciting to see if Luka can keep this momentum going!
