Golden State Warriors 118 - 112 Dallas Mavericks

Key Takeaways

1. Curry Still King: At 37, Steph Curry dazzled with 32 points, including 6 three-pointers. His ability to space the floor proved too much for the Mavs' perimeter defense.
2. Luka's Effort: Luka Dončić posted a triple-double (28 pts, 12 reb, 11 ast) but struggled with efficiency in the 4th quarter against the Warriors' defense led by Draymond Green.
3. Bench Depth: The Warriors' bench, led by Moses Moody, outscored Dallas's second unit 42-28.

Playoff Implications

• Warriors: Move to 16-15, stabilizing their spot in the Play-In tournament zone.
• Mavericks: Fall to 12-20, raising concerns about their consistency on the road.

The Warriors have now won both meetings this season, giving them the tiebreaker advantage.
