KVSP 
Through 1 Quarter
The Golden State Warriors were expected to win this one, and so far that’s exactly how it’s playing out. They are way out in front after one quarter with a 28-18 lead over the Dallas Mavericks.
The Dubs have enjoyed the tag-team combination of center Kevon Looney and small forward Andrew Wiggins. The former has six points in addition to four boards and one block, while the latter has ten points along with two rebounds. Dallas hasn’t had any offensive standouts so far with all players held to eight points or fewer.
This is the first time the Mavericks have been down going into the second quarter in the past six games.

Dallas @ Golden State
Current Records: Dallas 4-3; Golden State 4-2
What to Know
After a few days’ rest for both teams, the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors will meet up at 9 p.m. ET May 18 at Chase Center. Dallas isn’t expected to win, but seeing as the odds didn’t stop them last game, maybe the squad has another upset up their sleeve.
The Phoenix Suns typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday the Mavericks proved too difficult a challenge. Dallas steamrolled past Phoenix 123-90 on the road. With Dallas ahead 57-27 at the half, the matchup was all but over already. It was another big night for their point guard Luka Doncic, who shot 6-for-11 from beyond the arc and finished with a double-double on 35 points and ten boards. That makes it three consecutive games in which Doncic has had at least ten rebounds.
Meanwhile, Golden State didn’t have too much trouble with the Memphis Grizzlies at home last Friday as they won 110-96. Golden State’s shooting guard Klay Thompson was one of the most active players for the team, shooting 8-for-14 from downtown and finishing with 30 points and eight rebounds.
The Mavericks are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Oklahoma City Thunder Feb. 2 easily too and instead slipped up with a 120-114. In other words, don’t count the Warriors out just yet.
