Here are the Warriors’ dunk totals coming into the game vs the Mavs. Kuminga is racing up the list. There’s one name not listed and it would be WILD if he ever dunked in a game… pic.twitter.com/jjFyaI7acJ8:22 PM

Jeff Wade @SkinWade
Kuminga explosively wildin’ – 8:20 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Kerr is challenging this offensive foul call on Kuminga. Doesn’t burning your challenge in the first half pretty much guarantees you will need it later? – 8:20 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
After 1: Warriors 37, Mavericks 24
-After Wiggins misses 2/3 FTs, he gets cranky, scores 11 pts on 4/5 FGs
-Curry/GP2 7 pts ea
-score 9 pts off 6 DAL turnovers – 8:15 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Warriors lead Dallas 37-24 at the end of the first quarter. Andrew Wiggins leads all scorers with 11 points. They’ve held the Mavericks to 36.8 percent shooting and have five steals. Golden State is also 6-10 from 3-point range. – 8:15 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Alert defensive possession from Jonathan Kuminga the first few moments after he entered the game. Switches onto Luka Doncic early in clock, but leaves Doncic (wandering to corner) to wipe away a Maxi Kleber layup just as it is materializing behind him pic.twitter.com/V5EybsYWg18:15 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
Say what you want about Mavs’ offense, but allowing 37 first-quarter points and 60% shooting is the bigger culprit. It’s like Dallas left its defense behind at the All-Star break. – 8:12 PM

B3️⃣RTANS – 8:09 PM
Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
Struggling to pick who I think has the best in-game kicks collection on the Dubs. I think it’s between Jordan Poole and GPII.
They both stay with 🔥 on their feet. – 8:08 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Warriors fans, if you don’t follow @CJ Holmes yet, mash that button and welcome him to the beat. – 8:05 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Six turnovers have helped shove the Mavericks into a 27-12 hole with 4 minutes left in the first quarter. – 8:03 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Doncic’s body language is no bueno. – 8:03 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Second straight game vs the Warriors that Dallas has looked completely inept trying to stop Golden State in the halfcourt. – 8:02 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors rip off a 27-12 start on the Mavericks. Gary Payton II (despite limping on that shin) active on defense, bothering Doncic. Wiggins hitting shots after quiet return from break. Ball zinging around. Four Curry assists. Has 18 his last four quarters. – 8:02 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
Golden State seems to be 90-10 on the 50-50 balls. – 7:58 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Four steals for the Warriors so far tonight. Steve Kerr praised the team for their defensive effort against the Blazers and that’s carried over. Mavericks are shooting just 2-7 early.
Warriors up 15-5 on Dallas with 7:28 left in the first quarter. – 7:56 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Warriors race to 15-5 lead over Mavericks with 7:28 left in Q1. Defense is hyperactive and all 5 Warriors (w/Moody starting for Klay) have scored – 7:56 PM
Michael Dugat @mdug
Curry good – 7:53 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
3 extremely early turnovers by Doncic. – 7:53 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
On his last day as a 22 year old, Luka is on pace to have like 22 turnovers. – 7:51 PM

defense to offense in style 😎

CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Great hustle, beautiful pass by GPII to Stephen for the easy transition layup. – 7:49 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Word to the wise: Don’t give up on the Mavs (or Warriors, for that matter) if this game gets out of hand early. Both teams have 11 comebacks this season from 10-point (or larger) deficits this season. That’s tied for most in the league. – 7:44 PM

Trey Burke (left shoulder sprain), Marquese Chriss (right knee soreness), Tim Hardaway Jr. (left foot surgery), Frank Ntilikina (right ankle sprain) and Theo Pinson (right fifth finger fracture) are all out for today’s game at Golden State. – 6:05 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
James Wiseman will travel with the Warriors next week. – 6:03 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
James Wiseman will travel with the Warriors on their upcoming four-game road trip to get some practice and scrimmages with the team. This rules him out of any work with the G League Warriors. Kerr says he remains day-to-day. – 5:54 PM
Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
James Wiseman will travel with the Warriors on the upcoming road trip, and he will practice with the team during that time. – 5:54 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Klay Thompson (illness) is out, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr is unwilling to divulge who will replace him in the starting lineup. ‘It’s the stretch run (smile).’
Adds that GP2 will make his third straight start. – 5:53 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
James Wiseman will join the Warriors on this upcoming four-game road trip, doing scrimmages/work with team. That would rule him out of the four Santa Cruz games this week. Steve Kerr continues to maintain the “day-to-day” approach with Wiseman’s rehab, no target return. – 5:52 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Kerr won’t say who’s starting in place of Klay tonight. – 5:51 PM
Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Steve Kerr said he’s hopeful that Klay Thompson will make the upcoming road trip. – 5:50 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Klay Thompson (illness) won’t play today vs. Mavs, but Steve Kerr didn’t want to reveal who will start for Warriors instead.
Tricky mind games! The suspense! – 5:50 PM

Steve Kerr said Klay Thompson hasn’t been feeling well the past few days, but hopes he can join the team on the upcoming road trip. Thompson was seen leaving Chase Center a few minutes ago. – 5:50 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Klay Thompson’s been feeling sick the last couple days, per Kerr. Won’t play tonight, but Warriors hopeful he will be on upcoming four-game road trip. – 5:49 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
#Suns down 6 with 5 minutes left.
Haven’t lost 2 in a row since Warriors on Christmas and Memphis on Ja Morant winner Dec. 27.
Monty Williams didn’t coach vs. Grizzlies as he was out after positive COVID test.
Deandre Ayton and Jae Crowder were in health/safety protocols, too – 5:43 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Jonathan Kuminga wants to be great but didn’t always care to listen. It showed.
The rookie has become a much better listener. It shows.

Blazers say Damian Lillard has progressed in his rehab from ab surgery and will be re-evaluated again in 2-3 weeks. (He all but confirmed on Draymond Green’s podcast last week that he isn’t playing again this season, FWIW) – 4:04 PM
Chris Biderman @TheWarriorsWire
Against the Trail Blazers, Jonathan Kuminga picked up right where he left before the All-Star break with another double-figure scoring effort. warriorswire.usatoday.com/2022/02/25/jon…4:00 PM

The Warriors will be without Klay Thompson due to general illness. The star missed practice yesterday for the same reason. – 2:13 PM
