“The shot making was at a high level; both teams shot the ball extremely well from three,” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd shared. “It was a fun game to watch, and both teams played at a high level tonight.”
Klay Thompson performed notably well, sinking seven three-pointers against his former team, while Stephen Curry matched him with seven of his own. Doncic showcased his shooting skills by going 6 for 11 from deep.
