Steph Curry scored 21 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and sat out the entire fourth quarter as the Golden State Warriors rolled to a 112-87 victory over the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night in the opening game of the NBA Western Conference Finals.
Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is Friday night at Chase Center, where the raucous, yellow-clad sellout crowd brought back memories of that 2007"We Believe" Warriors playoff team that shocked the No. 1-seeded Mavericks in a six-game first-round upset at Oracle Arena.
Their swarming defense stymied Dallas star Luka Doncic, holding him 20 points on 6-for-18 shooting and forcing him into seven turnovers. "I thought Wiggs was fantastic," Kerr said."Doncic is as difficult a cover as there is in this league. ... It's important to make him work. He's so good. Any great player in the league you're trying to limit the damage that they do."
