NBA Makes Historic Announcement Regarding Mavericks-Warriors Game
Klay Thompson entered Golden State on Sunday night with the intent to put on a show against his former team-and that’s exactly what he did. But it wasn’t just Thompson who stole the spotlight; it was an all-out offensive barrage from both teams.
The Dallas Mavericks emerged victorious with a 143-133 win, powered by Luka Dončić, who delivered an incredible 45 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists, while hitting six three-pointers. Thompson wasn’t far behind, scoring 29 points and outdoing Dončić with seven three-pointers.
Warriors star Stephen Curry matched Thompson’s seven three-pointers and added 26 points with 10 assists in a spectacular offensive display. The result was a historic shooting contest that will be remembered in NBA history.
Together, the Mavericks and Warriors combined for 48 made three-pointers, setting an NBA record for the most in a single game. Dallas shot 51% from beyond the arc, hitting 21 of 41 attempts, while Golden State shot 50% with 27 of 54.
It was only a matter of time before this kind of explosive shooting performance happened, especially with two of the greatest shooters in NBA history-Stephen Curry, the greatest shooter of all time, and his former teammate Klay Thompson-on the court together. The result was a historic display of three-point shooting that set the bar even higher for modern NBA offenses.
The Dallas Mavericks, led by Luka Dončić, Klay Thompson, and Kyrie Irving, seem to be finding their rhythm as a trio, and that’s a promising sign for Mavericks fans. With their offense clicking, they’ve become one of the hottest teams in the league as they make a push for the postseason.
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have made a significant move of their own, acquiring Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schröder in a trade that’s expected to bolster their backcourt and provide additional offensive firepower alongside Curry. This move could add another dynamic dimension to the Warriors’ already potent lineup as they look to remain contenders in the Western Conference.
