The Golden State Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 116 - 95, at Oracle Arena on Wednesday. The Warriors (6 - 2) improved to 3 - 1 on their home court with an easy win against the Mavericks (2 - 6), but Stephen Curry turned his ankle which silenced the crowd for a minute. Curry was taped up and did return to action rather quickly, as the Warriors rolled through all quarters, save for a minor slump in the third period. Golden State built upon a 34 - 15 lead at the end of the first quarter to take a very comfortable 67 - 36 lead into the half. Klay Thompson was the standout performance given his rough start to the season, and awoke to the tune of 20 points on 8 - of - 13 shooting. The Mavericks (2 - 6) were short handed in the tough matchup with Golden State on the road, as J.J. Barea (late scratch), Wesley Matthews (rest) and Andrew Bogut (rest) were sidelined. The Mavericks were playing the second game of a back - to - back, so the strategic rest early in the season did cause them to fall four games below the .500 mark. However, wins against the Warriors team that boasts Kevin Durant, Curry, Thompson and Draymond Green simply do not come easy. Harrison Barnes continued his strong scoring trend with 25 points, to go along with eight rebounds and one assist. Seth Curry matched up against his brother, but was not as effective from deep, as he finished with 10 points on 2 - of - 9 shooting from three point land. Next up, the Warriors visit the Denver Nuggets, while the Mavericks enjoy some time off before visiting the New York Knicks on Monday.
