Dubs Downed By Dallas

Warriors' drop first game of weekend back-to-back, lose to Dallas Mavericks 126-91

TEAM LEADERS

In the final seconds of the second quarter, Andre Iguodala blocked a shot, but the ball went straight to Dallas’ Ryan Broekhoff who then made a quick two-point shot. Such was the night for the Warriors as things were just were not going well from the get-go tonight.

The Dallas Mavericks got off to a quick start courtesy of Dirk Nowitzki, who scored 10 points in the first three minutes. Rookie Luka Doncic also had a double-double (15 points, 10 rebounds) before the end of the first half.

Unable to recoup from their early woes, the Golden State Warriors lost the first game of their weekend back-to-back 126-91.

Kevin Durant finished the game with 25 points, while DeMarcus Cousins had an efficient night with 19 points on 8-for-11 shooting.

The Warriors are right back at it tomorrow night for a Sunday showdown at 5:30 PM; tune-in on NBC Sports Bay Area to watch the action, or listen to The Call on 95.7 The Game, the Warriors Mobile App or the Warriors Radio Network.
