In the third quarter, Curry found some form, but Doncic was able to respond here, plus Josh Green's play, the Mavericks still stabilized the Warriors, and even if it wasn't for Podzemski's good play in the closing stages, then the Warriors would have fallen behind by more points, and the Warriors trailed by 12 points at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Podemski and Curry continued to help the Warriors chase points, and Paul also maintained an offensive state in the game, so the Warriors once chased the score to only 6 points, but in the next game, Exum continued to score, not to mention, Doncic also continued to cause damage to help the Mavericks stabilize the situation, and finally the Warriors lost the game.
It is not easy for the Mavericks to win the game, after all, in the second half of the game, the Warriors still brought the Mavericks a lot of trouble, but in this game, Doncic himself maintained an offensive state, not to mention, Green, Exum and others can stand up to help the team is also quite crucial.

And Paul is dreaming back to the top in this game, his outside three-point explosion is a huge help to the Warriors, and it is Paul's play that allows the Warriors to retain the suspense of the game, but unfortunately Paul's play still did not help the Warriors win, and Paul got 24 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists in 9 of 14 at the end of the game. As for the Warriors' loss, Curry needs to take the blame, because Curry did not play efficiently in this game, although Curry did have a good performance in the third quarter, but in fact, Curry played badly in the fourth quarter, 2 of 6 outside three-pointers, and Curry also had 2 turnovers, and as the leader of the team, Curry's performance is obviously not enough, so at this time Curry needs to take responsibility, and at the end of the game, Curry got 25 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists in 9 of 25.
