| Mavericks @ Warriors | 89-104 | Link | Stephen Curry bombed in five 3-pointers for a game-high 22 points, Draymond Green had 18 points and 9 rebounds, and Andrew Bogut pulled 13 rebounds and blocked 3 shots as the Warriors remained unbeaten at Oracle Arena since Jan. 27 with their 22nd double-digit blowout of the season. The Warriors had a season-high-tying 11 blocks in all. Klay Thompson added 16 points for the Warriors, dropping in a pair of 3-pointers, and backup guard Shaun Livingston recorded a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double off the bench. Rajon Rondo and Dirk Nowitzki had 14 points apiece for the Mavericks. Rondo hit only six of his 15 shots. Shooting guard Monta Ellis endured a 2-for-14 nightmare to end with 6 points. Amar'e Stoudemire added 12 points in 18 minutes for the Mavericks. Dallas got off to a good start in the first minute, but Warriors Coach Steve Kerr was not going to allow them the hot start of their last meet-up. Kerr abruptly called a timeout to emphasize the game plan. The Warriors then executed well defensively, keeping the Mavericks to 36.8% shooting, taking advantage of 13 Dallas turnovers, and beating the Mavericks 51-34 on the boards. At the end of the night, Kerr was happy with the defensive effort, but still maintained the offensive effort could use improvement. |

I felt all of the recaps from Reuters were really good and I was about 1,500 characters over so it would have been a lot to cut out. Instead, I expanded it. I will work on links, but this took a while as is, so I'll have to make time later.
