UNDATED (AP) — The Golden State Warriors have opened the NBA’s Western Conference finals with a 25-point win over the Dallas Mavericks.
Steph Curry had 21 points and a game-high 12 rebounds as the Warriors stifled the Mavs, 112-87. Andrew Wiggins added 19 points, getting Golden State going by making six of his first eight attempts on the way to shooting 8 for 17.
Jordan Poole chipped in 19 points off the bench and Klay Thompson had 17 while they helped Curry keep Luka Doncic in check. The Dallas guard scored 20 points but shot just 6-for-18 and 3 of 10 from deep. Doncic made back-to-back 3-pointers late in the first half to get his team within 54-45 at the break.
Jalen Brunson scored 14 points but missed all five of his 3s for the surprising Mavs, who come off a series win against the top-seeded Suns.
Game 2 is Friday night in San Francisco.
