Nicolas Batum filled out the stat sheet nicely with a near double - double consisting of 12 points, nine rebounds, six assists and a steal. Cody Zeller and Frank Kaminsky combined for just seven points but 10 rebounds as well. Dallas managed respective 37 percent and 29 percent tallies from the field and three - point range, despite seeing five players post double - digit scoring performances. Harrison Barnes paced them with 17 points, while Deron Williams and Wesley Matthews followed with a pair of 14 - point efforts. Matthews did struggle considerably from long range, however, going just 1 - of - 11 from beyond the arc. Justin Anderson and Jonathan Gibson impressively combined for 26 points off the bench.
