Dončić’s 45-point triple-double helps Mavs beat Warriors in recording-breaking game Luka Dončić had his 80th career triple-double with a season-high 45 points along with 13 assists and 11 rebounds, and the Dallas Mavericks beat Klay Thompson’s former Golden State Warriors 143-133 on Sunday night in a second visit to Chase Center in just more than a month.
His former Splash Brother Stephen Curry had 26 points and 10 assists for Golden State in a game added to the schedule once the teams were eliminated from the NBA Cup.
Thompson hit two late three-pointers for seven total and finished with 29 points after the Mavericks lost 120-117 in his previous game against the team with which he won four NBA titles.
It’s cool I get to say I guarded Steph like I guarded Kobe [Bryant] and KD [Kevin Durant].
“It was very surreal,” Thompson said of returning to face his old teammates.
