The game between Dallas and Golden State, the long-awaited duel between Luka Doncic and Stephen Curry, was decided in the blink of an eye with a 0-28, one of the most bulky partial scores in recent times.

Dallas won 103-133 and thus remains in a sixth place that would allow it to qualify directly for the playoffs and avoid the tie that they will have to play from the seventh to the tenth place in each Conference.

The game was marked by the offensive collapse suffered by the Warriors from minute three and a half to the opening bars of the second quarter. The score went from 12-11 to 12-39. The 0-28 run, one of the most bulky in the NBA in recent years, left no margin for the Warriors. "The biggest game of the year and it was over before it started," lamented his coach Steve Kerr.

Doncic added 39 points in 28 minutes, in addition to 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals. Carlisle gave him rest in the fourth quarter. His presence was not necessary because the Mavericks came to dominate by 43 points of difference. The response from Stephen Curry, the league's leading scorer and averaging 37 points in the last month, fell very short, in line with his team's weak performance, hampered by casualties. Curry added 27 points, 1 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Along with him, only the Canadian guard Mychal Mulder stood out, with 26 points. The Mavericks couldn't count on Porzingis, injured. Melli, Hardaway and Finney-Smith each scored 13 points, Brunson 12 and Kleber 10. “It was the perfect storm. Everything has gone awful, ”Curry lamented. "I'm not worried about the scoring drought, I'm worried about the defense,the level of intensity, preparation and competitiveness, "said Kerr. “That is what has been lacking. I'm the coach and clearly they weren't ready to play. "
