Tim Hardaway Jr., who scored 22 points, answered Curry's 3 with one on Doncic's 12th and final assist. Josh Green's short jumper came after Doncic blocked Curry's layup try.
Golden State had one more chance after Dorian Finney-Smith missed one of two free throws to keep the deficit at three. Klay Thompson got a good look off for 3, but the shot was short as Curry's Splash Brother finished 1 of 6 from deep with five points.Jonathan Kuminga had 14 points and 10 rebounds for Golden State, which trailed by 17 in the first quarter but took its first lead before halftime.

Luka Doncic's superstar emergence — and the burden of building around himThe Mavericks waived Facundo Campazzo to clear roster space to sign former All-Star point guard Kemba Walker.
