DALLAS (AP) --- Naji Marshall tied his season highs with 30 points and nine
assists, and the Dallas Mavericks beat Golden State 123-115 on Thursday night,
winning a season-best fourth consecutive game while dropping the Warriors to
0-2 since Jimmy Butler's season-ending knee injury.
Stephen Curry scored 38 points and was 8 of 15 from 3-point range on the night
the Warriors' superstar became the first in NBA history to attempt 10,000 shots
from beyond the arc. He's now 4,222 of 10,007 from deep.
Cooper Flagg scored 21 points in 30 minutes when Dallas' rookie No. 1 pick was
supposed to be limited to 20-25 minutes in his second game back since missing a
pair with a sprained left ankle.
Max Christie also had 21 points, and Brandon Williams scored 19 off the bench
as six Mavericks finished in double figures. Klay Thompson wasn't one of them,
hitting two first-half 3-pointers for six points against his former team.
The Warriors were up one midway through the fourth quarter when Draymond Green
was called for a flagrant foul that had him arguing with the officials. Less
than a minute later, another foul by Green was reviewed but not called flagrant.
Green argued anyway as he went to the bench after the second foul, and the Mavs
continued on an 11-0 run that started after the flagrant foul. Green fouled out
with 3:50 remaining.
Jonathan Kuminga scored 10 points in 9 minutes before leaving with left knee
soreness in the first half. He landed awkwardly on the knee while dribbling the
length of the court.
It was Kuminga's second game after sitting for a month while falling completely
out of coach Steve Kerr's rotation. Butler's ACL tear in his right knee created
an opening for Kuminga to return.
Up next
Warriors: The first of two in a row at Minnesota on Saturday.
Mavericks: Luka Doncic faces his former team when the Lakers visit Saturday.
