Dubs fall to Dallas Mavericks 142-94 after allowing 44 points in first quarter.
The Warriors’ night got off with to a rough start when Draymond Green was ruled out with right heel soreness following pregame warmups, and it didn't get any better during a 142-94 loss in Dallas on Wednesday.
Playing with the NBA bare minimum of eight players, the Warriors fell behind, big, early. The Mavericks opened the game with an 8-0 spurt and that eventually grew to a 44-16 lead at the end of the first quarter.
TEAM LEADERS
Eric Paschall led the Dubs with 22 points and seven rebounds, but it wasn't enough to keep up with Dallas’ Luka Doncic, who started with 22 points on 5-of-6 from three-point range in the first quarter on the way to a 35 point, 10 rebound, 11 assist triple-double.
Next up: the Dubs wrap-up their road trip with a Friday night tilt against the Utah Jazz (7:30 p.m., NBCSBA).
