Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry light up Chase Center in record-breaking duel

The NBA world was treated to a spectacular display of three-point shooting on Sunday night as Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry electrified fans at the Chase Center. In a game filled with excitement, Thompson—now playing for the Dallas Mavericks—helped his team secure a thrilling 143-133 victory over Curry’s Golden State Warriors. This clash not only reignited memories of the iconic “Splash Brothers” but also set a new standard with record-breaking stats.

A Three-Point Showcase Breaks NBA Records

The game was a three-point clinic, with the Mavericks and Warriors combining for an NBA-record 48 three-pointers. Both teams were incredibly efficient from beyond the arc, with Dallas shooting 51.2% and Golden State hitting at an impressive 50.0%.

Klay Thompson showcased his trademark sharpshooting, draining seven three-pointers and scoring a season-high 29 points, proving to be a crucial asset for the Mavericks. On the other side, Stephen Curry matched Thompson’s performance from deep, contributing seven triples along with 26 points and 10 assists.

The game was a testament to how far the NBA’s three-point revolution has come, delivering a high-octane spectacle for fans and redefining what’s possible in the modern game.

Luka Dončić Dominates with a Triple-Double Masterclass

While the Curry-Thompson duel stole headlines, the star of the night was undoubtedly Luka Dončić. The Mavericks’ leader delivered an astounding 45-point, 11-rebound, 13-assist triple-double, dominating every facet of the game. Dončić shot an incredibly efficient 16 of 23 from the field, showcasing his versatility and precision.

Dončić’s defensive impact was just as impressive, with three steals and two blocks adding to his all-around performance. Games like these solidify Dončić’s status as one of the league’s premier superstars and keep the Mavericks in serious contention for another deep playoff run.

Despite the loss, the Warriors had notable contributors. Andrew Wiggins led Golden State with 29 points, while Draymond Green added 21 points off the bench, and Jonathan Kuminga chipped in with 20 points. However, their collective efforts fell short of containing the Mavericks’ firepower.

Klay Thompson Shines in His New Role with Dallas

Sunday’s game highlighted why the Mavericks brought in Klay Thompson during the offseason. His ability to stretch the floor and hit clutch three-pointers perfectly complements Luka Dončić’s playmaking. With seven triples against his former team, Thompson reminded everyone of his value as one of the game’s greatest shooters.

If Thompson continues performing at this level, the Mavericks will be a force to be reckoned with in the Western Conference. Their 17-9 record reflects a team finding its groove, especially after last season’s trip to the NBA Finals.

What’s Next for the Mavericks and Warriors?

The Dallas Mavericks will look to keep the momentum alive when they face the Los Angeles Clippers (14-12) on Thursday. With Dončić in MVP form and Thompson proving to be a key addition, the Mavericks are positioning themselves as serious title contenders.

For the Golden State Warriors, now at 13-12, it’s time to regroup. While their three-point shooting remains elite, defensive lapses allowed the Mavericks to dominate. Addressing these weaknesses will be crucial as the Warriors aim to climb back into the playoff picture.

An Unforgettable Night for NBA Fans

Sunday’s matchup between the Mavericks and Warriors was more than a regular-season game—it was a celebration of NBA excellence. With record-breaking three-point shooting, Klay Thompson’s revival, and Luka Dončić’s triple-double dominance, this game delivered on every level.

As both teams look ahead, one thing is certain: this showdown will be remembered as a testament to the evolving NBA game, where skill, efficiency, and star power combine to create unforgettable moments.
