The Golden State Warriors (62 - 6) defeated the Dallas Mavericks (34 - 35) 130 - 112 on Friday. The recent form of these teams would have indicated this result, as these two are going in opposite directions. While the score looks lopsided, the game was close throughout and it was a late run by the Warriors that really opened up the scoreline. The three - point shooting was the key for Golden State, as they went 22 - for - 38 from long distance. The Warriors continue to win games and the Splash Brothers did what they did best tonight. Klay Thompson and Steph Curry combined for 70 points, while hitting 16 three's. Curry actually flirted with a triple - double, as he finished with 31 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds in the win. Up next for Golden State is one of the games of the season, as they travel to Texas to face the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. Dallas has now lost seven of their last eight and they are close to falling out of the playoffs all together. Dirk Nowitzki continued his good form though, as he tallied 24 points, nine rebounds and four assists in the defeat. David Lee had another great game off the bench, as he double - doubled in a 16 - point, 16 - rebound performance against his former team. The Mavericks will look to get a much needed win on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers for their next matchup.
