The Golden State Warriors suffered their third straight defeat when they lost to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. Their most recent slide began when they lost to the Denver Nuggets on Christmas Day, and they’ve been unable to recover the energy and hustle they showed during the five-game win streak that led up to that loss.
Nevertheless, Golden State can still turn things around. Yes, they are 11th in the Western Conference, and their season hasn’t gone remotely to plan. Nevertheless, they have the veteran leadership and high-level talent to turn the season around once they find and lean into their identity as a group.
The Warriors next game is Tuesday, when they will face the Orlando Magic. Before we look ahead to that game, it’s worth taking a closer look at who had a good performance in Golden State’s latest loss. Here are the top three statistical performers from Saturday’s game.
