The Golden State Warriors (42 - 4) defeated the Dallas Mavericks (26 - 21) at Oracle Arena 127 - 107 on Wednesday. Klay Thompson exploded for his second 40 - point game of the season and led the Warriors with 45 on points on 14 - of - 20 of shooting. Thompson’s effort improved Golden State to the best start in NBA history and 40 consecutive home wins in the regular season. The scoring outburst came at an opportune time, seeing that Stephen Curry struggled early and was unable to get a rhythm going until the third quarter. The reigning MVP finished with 14 points, nine assists and two rebounds in 31 minutes. Dallas was able to pull the game within one point early in the second half, but the Warriors followed up with a 17 - point swing in seven minutes to put the game away before entering the fourth quarter. It was the usual drill for the NBA’s best team, as the final period was led by the reserves, save for Klay Thompson, who was kept in throughout his hot shooting night. Draymond Green had a quiet performance, adding 10 points, three rebounds and four assists, while Harrison Barnes contributed 13 points on 5 - of - 9 shooting to round out the starters. The Warriors begin a road trip with a meeting against the Philadelphia 76ers (7 - 40) on Saturday. The Mavericks were led by Chandler Parsons, as they strategically decided to rest Dirk Nowitzki in the second game of a back - to - back, after the 18 year veteran drained the game winning shot against the Lakers on Tuesday. Parsons scored 23 points, to go along with seven rebounds and one assist on 8 - of - 13 shooting. Dallas came out in the second half firing behind Deron Williams and Wes Matthews, who finished with 12 points and nine points, respectively, but containing Klay Thompson was an ongoing issue, and when Stephen Curry was able to hit his first few three - pointers, there was not much Dallas could do to compete. Salah Mejri got his second straight start at center in favor of the injured Zaza Pachulia (leg), and finished with a lowly two points and three rebounds in 13 minutes. The Mavericks will host the Brooklyn Nets (12 - 34) on Friday.
