OF Brandin Podziemski announcement that he is leaving Warriors Now another significant issue for team…..
Golden State Warriors overcame Luka Doncic’s 20th triple-double of the season to beat Dallas 104-100 on Tuesday night, snapping the Mavericks’ seven-game winning streak.
Doncic, the NBA’s leading scorer at 33.9 points per game, finished with 30 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.
His 20 triple-doubles trail only Domantas Sabonis (26) and Nikola Jokic (23).
Doncic also recorded his 48th 30-point game of the season, second only to Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (50).
Warriors coach Steve Kerr praised Wiggins for his defense on Doncic, who on Tuesday was chosen Western Conference player of the month for March, winning the award for the second month in a row.
“It was our defense that got us the win,” Kerr said. “Holding those guys to 100 points is pretty difficult. I thought (Wiggins) was brilliant.
He put in so much effort just trying to make Luka work. Luka was amazing as he always is, but that effort really set a tone.”
The Mavericks cut the deficit to 102-100 with 15 seconds remaining, but the Warriors were able to close out the game with late free throws from Klay Thompson.
Six Warriors scored in double digits on a night when Stephen Curry shot just 5 for 18 from the floor.
Thompson and Chris Paul each had 14 points, Curry scored 13 and Moses Moody had 12 as Golden State won its fifth straight.
