Warriors expose Mavericks’ struggles in dominant win
The Mavericks had a tough game, and the score showed it. Kyrie Irving, PJ Washington, and Naji Marshall struggled, getting their worst stats of the season.
The Warriors took advantage, exposing Dallas’ weak defense and lack of depth. Marshall had the worst rating at -28, while Washington had -22 and Irving -20.
Costing the Mavs big time??? The Warriors went on a run without him even on the court. Kyrie can’t make a shot, the others can’t make shots either. The entire team is costing them big time. https://t.co/yHr6cI9zwA
