WARRIORSTALK

Shorthanded, High-Scoring Affair Ends in Victory

With three recent injuries to Warriors that have played at center, Golden State had just nine active players with none listed as taller than 6’7”.

And it was one of Steve Kerr’s taller players – reaching his loftiest heights in a rollercoaster season – that stole the show in the team’s highest-scoring game of the campaign.

Behind a career-high 40 points from Kelly Oubre Jr. on 14-of-21 shooting and 7-of-10 from long range, the Golden State Warriors (12-10) defeated the Dallas Mavericks (9-14) 147-116 in the first of two matchups in Dallas.
