With a few injuries forcing the Golden State Warriors to play without a center on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks, the Dubs stunned everybody with a dominant 147-116 win.
The Mavericks have been reeling for a few weeks now, currently in a 1-6 slump. Nonetheless, the Dubs took full advantage of their weaker opponent by scoring their highest single-game point total of the season.
The Golden State Warriors’ victory in Dallas was inspiring in a number of ways – but these three players shined the brightest.
We all know how great Stephen Curry has been. He dropped a casual 28 points in 29 minutes as he controlled every aspect of the game when he was on the floor. He’s quietly building up an MVP case that will be hard to deny if the Warriors continue to hit their stride.
And, all indicators are pointing towards a strong second half to the season for Golden State. They have one of the easiest remaining schedules and are seeing multiple members of the team breakout. Let’s highlight three players who flashed what’s to come for the remainder of the season.
