“#Stephen Curry scores 57, but Warriors fall to Mavericks, Luka Doncic<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

DALLAS \u2014 Luka Doncic couldn\u2019t top Stephen Curry\u2019s shoulder shimmy, or the second-best scoring night of the Golden State star\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

The Dallas sensation led his Mavericks to victory, though, and helped them stop a six-game<\/a> home losing streak.<\/p>\n

Doncic tied his career high with 42 points in a scoring duel with Curry, leading the Mavericks to an entertaining 134-132 win over the Warriors on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The prime-time matchup on national TV lived up to the billing, with Curry hitting a season-high 11 3-pointers on the way to 57 points. The two-time MVP put on another show about a month after scoring 62 in a win over Portland.<\/p>\n

Doncic was 12 of 23 from field, 7 for 12 from 3-point range and 11 of 14 on free throws with 11 assists and seven rebounds as the Mavericks ended the second-longest home losing streak in Rick Carlisle\u2019s 13 seasons as coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a display of basketball out there,\u201d Carlisle said. \u201cJust amazing playmaking and shot-making the entire night. Curry and Doncic were spectacular. Both teams played with a lot of heart and a lot of joy. Great thing to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mavericks took an 18-2 lead two nights after a 31-point loss to the Warriors on the same court, but the 16-point cushion was gone by the third quarter \u2014 not long after Curry\u2019s shoulder shimmy when he drained a 36-footer from the Mavericks midcourt logo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat always is a good feeling when you feel like you\u2019re in a rhythm, you just need a clean look and things are going to fall,\u201d Curry said. \u201cIt was that type of night. Obviously wanted to get the win. Kind of mixed feelings right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curry was 11 of 19 from 3 \u2014 finishing two made 3s shy of his career high \u2014 and made all eight of his free throws. He was 19 for 31 overall with five assists.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s never played better,\u201d Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen him like this. He\u2019s always obviously been an incredible shooter. He looks stronger. It\u2019s almost unfathomable, what he\u2019s doing out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Draymond Green matched his season high of 15 assists from the first of the two straight games in Dallas with the Warriors missing all their traditional centers because of injuries.<\/p>\n

Curry got Golden State within a point with a three-point play with 28 seconds remaining, but Doncic assisted on a 3-pointer by Maxi Kleber for a 134-130 lead with 5.6 seconds left.<\/p>\n

With Curry sitting early in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks got their lead back to double digits. The Warriors were within four when Curry missed a 3 with a little more than a minute remaining, then Doncic connected from long range to hit 42 points for the third time in his career and put Dallas up 131-124.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing against Steph, it\u2019s fun,\u201d said Doncic, who slammed the scorer\u2019s table in frustration after a crushing last-second loss to Phoenix during the home skid. \u201cI\u2019ve got to have more fun playing the game, to be who I was before. I\u2019ve just got to get back to enjoying the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kristaps Porzingis had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Josh Richardson scored 17 for Dallas.<\/p>\n

Andrew Wiggins scored 22 points and Kent Bazemore had 20 for the Warriors.<\/p>\n

The duel between Curry and Doncic got going when they traded 3-pointers late in the first half. They did it again early in the second half, when Doncic hit another one after a Golden State turnover.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t all 3s for Curry. He pump-faked behind the arc in the third quarter, sending Kleber and Dorian Finney-Smith flying by before dribbling past them and hitting a 17-footer.<\/p>\n

Curry hit another 3 the next time down, and one from long range by Wiggins gave the Warriors their first lead at 96-95 with four minutes left in the third.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
