Luka Dončić's Triple-Double Leads Mavericks to Win Over Warriors
Dončić's Dominance Key in Victory
Luka Dončić put on a show for the Dallas Mavericks fans in their 126-117 win over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. The Slovenian superstar recorded his second triple-double of the season with 31 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists. Dončić was in control of the game from the start, setting up his teammates for easy baskets and scoring efficiently himself. He shot 10-of-19 from the field, including 3-of-8 from three-point range. Dončić also added 4 steals and 2 blocks to his stat line, showing his all-around impact on the game.
Supporting Cast Steps Up
While Dončić was the star of the show, he got plenty of help from his supporting cast. Jalen Brunson added 21 points and 7 assists, while Dorian Finney-Smith chipped in with 18 points and 9 rebounds. Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell also played well, combining for 27 points and 17 rebounds. The Mavericks' bench outscored the Warriors' bench 36-26, providing a much-needed spark.
Warriors Struggle to Keep Up
The Warriors, who entered the game with a 2-0 record, struggled to keep up with the Mavericks' high-powered offense. Stephen Curry led the way for Golden State with 27 points, but he was just 9-of-25 from the field. Klay Thompson added 21 points, but he was also inefficient, shooting 7-of-20. Andrew Wiggins was the only other Warriors player to reach double figures, finishing with 17 points.
Implications for Both Teams
The win was a big one for the Mavericks, who improved to 2-1 on the season. They will look to continue their winning ways on Friday night when they host the New Orleans Pelicans. The Warriors, meanwhile, will look to bounce back on Friday night when they host the Sacramento Kings.
