SAN FRANCISCO – After the Mavericks made a statement in a dominant Game 7 win over the Suns on Sunday, Dallas coach and Bay Area basketball legend Jason Kidd said the team wasn’t sweating the task of going toe-to-toe with an experienced team in the Warriors, who have advanced to the Western Conference finals in six of the last eight seasons.
But Dallas felt the heat anyway, with the Warriors beating the Mavericks 112-87 in a game that was practically decided by the start of the fourth quarter.
The Warriors won Wednesday’s game in an unusual fashion, with Andrew Wiggins being the hero of the first half, Stephen Curry leading the team in rebounds and Klay Thompson not scoring a single point until the second half.
