The host Golden State Warriors took down the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, 108 - 99. Golden State (29 - 5) made easy work of the Mavs, holding onto a double - digit lead for the majority of the game. Former MVP Kevin Durant helped secure the win with an impressive triple - double. Durant had 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. All-Star Klay Thompson led the team with 29 points, while reigning MVP Steph Curry kept it fairly quiet with only 14 points and five assists. It was another big night overall for the Warriors' historically strong offense, as the team shot 50 percent from the field, sank 11 three - pointers, and dished 31 assists. Dallas (10 - 24) has picked it up since its horrendous start to the season, but struggled on Friday against the league's top team. Veteran Dirk Nowitzki played only 23 minutes and shot just 3 - of - 12 for 11 points. Harrison Barnes, meanwhile, scored 25 points and recorded two steals. Barnes was the lone bright spot in what was a tough night for the Mavs, as the team shot just 41 percent from the field and 25 percent from three - point range. The Mavericks will enjoy a few days of rest, while Golden State will take the court on Monday against the Denver Nuggets.
