KUMINGA'S SCORING TAKES CENTER STAGE
Missing two of their top offensive weapons — Stephen Curry and Draymond Green — and facing two of the league's best — Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, Jonathan Kuminga was the game's most productive scorer, tallying a game-high 27 points, a game-high nine made free throws and tying Kyrie Irving for a game-high eight made field goals. The 20-year-old forward is the youngest player in franchise history to reach 1,000 points in a season, accomplishing the feat 115 days faster than former first-overall pick Joe Smith.

MAKE ‘EM LOOK MOSES
Moses Moody's first two made field goals were loud, emphatic dunks. First, Moody operated out of triple threat in the right corner, blew past Kyrie Irving and used two hands to throw it down. Then, he cut to the rim and Brandin Podziemski hit him with a timely bounce pass for another two-hand slam. Moody yelled in celebration after both flashy finishes as the third-year guard finished with nine points on 4-for-8 shooting.

SHOOTING WOES AND PAINT DEFICIT
The Warriors shot just 40.2 percent from the field and 32.1 percent from three in the loss. The Mavericks also struggled from the perimeter (22.2 3PT%) but made up for it by shooting 69.0 percent (38-for-55) from inside the arc and outscoring the Dubs by 20 points (68-48) in the paint.
ENDING DONCIC'S HISTORIC STREAK
The Warriors became the first team in an eight-game span to prevent Luka Doncic from recording a triple-double. Doncic, whose prior seven-game triple-double streak was the longest in NBA history, finished with 21 points on 18 shots, nine assists, six turnovers, and three rebounds. Defensively, Brandin Podziemski had two of his game-high four steals on Doncic, moving his rookie total to 51. Podziemski is the eighth rookie this season to record 50-plus steals.
