Behind a barrage of 3-pointers from Luka Doncic, Reggie Bullock and Jalen Brunson, the Mavericks stormed to a 14-point lead over the Warriors at halftime. However, no lead is safe with Golden State’s arsenal of offensive firepower.
Kevon Looney helped spark Golden State’s comeback with 11 points and five rebounds in the third quarter to cut into the Dallas lead. While the Warriors heated up on offense, their defense limited the Mavericks to only 13 points in the third quarter.
