Dubs fall to Dallas Mavericks 142-94 after allowing 44 points in first quarter.
The Warriors’ night got off with to a rough start when Draymond Green was ruled out with right heel soreness following pregame warmups, and it didn’t get any better during a 142-94 loss in Dallas on Wednesday.
Playing with the NBA bare minimum of eight players, the Warriors fell behind, big, early. The Mavericks opened the game with an 8-0 spurt and that eventually grew to a 44-16 lead at the end of the first quarter.
