Draymond did such a great job of absorbing the blow and instantly re-closing the space Luka created. Just incredibly smart defense – 10:13 PM

GS leads Mavs 65-63 at half in tiebreaker showdown. Luka w/18 & 9 assists in his return. Mavs led by as many as 8 in 1st and 5 in 2nd but GS lead by Kuminga’s 14 off the bench rallied. GS has not won BTB road games since G4 & 6 of NBA Finals last June. 2nd half soon @971TheFreak – 9:01 PM

Warriors lead the Mavs 65-63 at halftime. Both teams have shot the ball well. It’s been back-and-forth the entire game. No turnovers for GSW in the second quarter after committing six in the first. Doncic has a game-high 18 points. Kuminga has 14. – 8:54 PM

Another high-quality two-way half from Jonathan Kuminga. Fourteen points in 14 bench minutes. Two 3s and a bunch of rim pressure. Two steals. Playing well in an extended shift on Luka Doncic. – 8:45 PM

Luka came out with under three minutes left in the first quarter. Not his previously usual pattern, which was that he played the entire first quarter. Mavericks are up 33-30 going into the second. Other than 11-6 rebounding deficit, a good 12 minutes for Mavs. – 8:15 PM

Warriors trail the Mavs 33-30 after one. Six turnovers already but they’re shooting the ball at a 60.0% clip. Jonathan Kuminga has a game-high seven points off the bench while guarding Luka Donic full court on defense. – 8:15 PM

Kidd said he’ll try to hold Doncic under 40 minutes. I thought he was half-joking, but later on he said “if he gets to 40 minutes, I’m sure there will be a discussion because he won’t want to come out.” – 5:50 PM

When asked if he believes Joel Embiid is worthy of the MVP, Erving said that he is but noted that the competition remains stiff with superstars like Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic. “I think he’s definitely worthy. I think he’s been worthy in the past,” Evring said. “Jokic is formidable. Tremendous numbers and his team was leading the conference for most of the season. So he’s formidable, Giannis is formidable and Luka is formidable. One of those four and it might be Joel’s turn, which would be poetically justifiable.” -via Clutch Points / March 21, 2023
