3 things to know: Rough first half leads to blowout loss for Warriors vs. Mavs, 133-103

An ice-cold scoring drought in the first half set the Golden State Warriors up for an ugly blowout loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.

After back-to-back victories, the Golden State Warriors welcomed the Dallas Mavericks to Chase Center on Tuesday night in a contest with serious postseason implications.

With Golden State in the position for a play-in playoff game at the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference, a victory over the sixth-seeded Mavericks was crucial for playoff positioning.

Steph Curry led the Warriors with 27 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the floor with two assists and two steals in 30 minutes. However, it wasn’t close to enough in a 133-103 loss.

The Warriors will need to reset before the team leaves on the final road swing on the season, starting with a tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday evening. The Warriors have 10 games left on the schedule during a pivotal stretch run to the postseason.

First quarter

Golden State’s scoring drought began shortly after the tip, starting in the first quarter. Behind eight points from Curry on 2-of-6 shooting from the floor, the Warriors mustered 12 total points in the first quarter. Mychal Mulder and Andrew Wiggins were the only other members of the Warriors to notch a bucket in the opening quarter.

As a team, the Warriors shot  4-of-21 from the floor in the first quarter. Tim Hardaway Jr. nearly outscored the Warriors’ entire team with 11 points on 3-of-4 shooting from the field in six minutes.
