The Golden State Warriors suffered a significant loss to the Dallas Mavericks, 111-107, that could haunt them if they miss the playoffs. Despite playing a Mavericks team missing key players, including star Anthony Davis, the Warriors’ early mistakes set them up for failure. They missed seven layups, including six in the second quarter, failing to capitalize on a vulnerable Dallas defense. Golden State also struggled with ball security, committing 16 turnovers, including a season-high three by Jimmy Butler. Though the Warriors made late runs to close the gap, they couldn’t sustain momentum. Stephen Curry acknowledged that Dallas capitalized on their errors, ultimately costing the Warriors a crucial win.
