Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks 1st Qtr Full Highlights| Dec. 30 | NBA Highlights 2023

On the defensive end but this is a very isoe heavy team so you’re going to be tested defensively two rookie centers jumping it up Derek livley winning the tap the Audi starting lineups first for Dallas Luca donic Jaden Hardy with Dante exom Derrick Jones Jr and Derek Lively

As Kena mentioned Kyrie Irving out with that heel issue although he may be back next week cycl it around and they will shoot 43 threes jayen Hardy missing there outy starting him Steph Curry Chris Paul Klay Thompson Jonathan kaminga and the first NBA start for Trace Jackson Davis and

The lob is perfectly exeed that’s a Steph Curry back screen use him as a decoy early and get Trace Jackson Davis going downhill throw it up Kevin Scott Tom Washington Scott wall blowing the whistles tonight exom maintaining control with the shot clock at nine Lively for the high screen he wants

Lively on the roll Chris Paul’s seen that DK Jones launching the three kaminga he’s got to be big on the glass he in Trace together should give the Warriors an advantage there I might give that defensive possession to Chris Paul just hustled to get back in the play

When he switched on to the big then just made them miss that three MinGa he was fouled before he put that up and in so we were calling for a fast start is this fast enough for you watch Steph Curry at the end of this set that screen out

Lively Lively doesn’t know hit him those bone crushing back screens John Stockton has nothing on me Stephen Curry and you’re using Trace Jackson Davis’s athleticism right off the bat I love that you bring up John Stockton for those back screens it was a huge part of his game that was totally

Underappreciated let you know the game like you do sir so step doing that oh the Jackhammer right down the lane he was thinking the same thing go at Lucas head any chance you get fake handoffs with step coming off of it those usually work made donic

Hesitate I’ll be asking you all game but but how do you deal with Luca as he drives in there over clay Lively will follow it home well Lively is very Lively on the board you got to know where he’s at but Clay did a pretty good job handling Luka that time made him

Miss make him take a tough shot without fouling that’s key Jones is a Dunk champ and you see him soar in for the hander he is so bouncy but you got to be careful that was a nice free agent signing for Jason kid well they’ve picked up their

Tempo and they were 28th last year in Pace now they’re eighth they got some athletes like Derek Jones Jr you saw it there and they’re using it a lot of times the bench will come in and try to get them going a little faster LC is playing a little faster himself at times See Jones who did not let clay pull on that three playay picked up the dribble with a shot clock at five Jackson Davis did well just to catch that Clay’s got to beat the shot clock buzzer and credit Dallas that’s a great defensive sequence for the Mavs Warriors had nothing going

It’s interesting they’ve struggled defensively the last 10 games or so looked like they were kind of improving the begin the beginning of the month so Jason kid is trying to get them more alert more intense defensively bage gets Trace Jackson Davis on a switch that’s step back three

And you said top of the telecast best three-point percentage of his career and he’s inching closer to 40% you know that step back is coming you just can’t do anything about it but they they launched threes from we say it in the the Celtics are one in attempts and makes Dallas is

Two in attempts and makes that’s why you just trying to get the ball out of that man’s hands Derrick Jones Jr is starting on Steph he’s trying to really make him work all his movement off the ball I like something you said a couple minutes ago kaminga is being guarded by donic

And that might be somewhere to explore it’s Steph gets luuka on the switch Curry tough turn and fade there and so Stephan clay want to get off to good starts but maps have made their first two shots very difficult Steph was going to counter and go back to his left

On D just kept going right H calls up Lively sets that screen very high and got Trace again on that switch Jones will launch the three and mingz Soares in for the [Applause] Rebound back door hello face Jackson Davison kaminga kaminga can see the floor two two Defenders went with Chris Paul that time Chris Paul is saying yeah respect my shooting ability I like that JK don’t reach and don’t buy all the pump fakes getting that Switch on the fade away see that’s why you you try to get the ball out of his hands you like Trace Jackson Davis and his ability to switch onto guards his versatility but that man is just a different animal he can get his shot off comfortably over

Anybody step with the step back bring that three out but you asked a rhetorical question and I think Steve c will go to it some point as Warriors fall asleep there as Hardy gets beond the defense double Luca let’s see if other Mavericks can have big nights other than donic Kavon Looney checking

In Trace Jackson Davis getting rest play Thompson leapers like to lead looking for stepin said it’s Looney put it up and in all the the action to Curry and the Warriors are taking advantage of with multiple layups it’s happened a few times we’ve seen it happen with Chris Paul that’s that under

Out of Bounce Play Step coming off Defenders go with him donic missing that three but kaminga challenge but didn’t jump at him and now Kinga is going to jump and lay it up and in that’s a good thing Luca he gambled wasn’t able to get it now everybody else is compromised

With kaminga coming at you donic backing down Chris Paul there’s your team EX in that three he’s shooting it well 44% that guy he’s picked his NBA career up off the ground seventh year in the league out of Australia S A two-year extension in the off seon very enough turn around steps shot

Quality has been very difficult here in this first quarter got to give the Mavericks credit made it tough on him so far think get came to help step and knocked it away from donic nicely done play running one man to beat and it’s Lively Curry Trail three missed

Everything and that off of Looney’s hands good idea by Kingz step are looking to add to both of those list tonight Josh Green’s first playing time the one year at Arizona he had an elbow injury and missed 20 games came back the other night he’s explosive I like him

Pretty good feel for the game Hardway Junior 30 against Minnesota you have to deal with him green sh and go and knocking off the mid-range they had all shifted over on the weak side dones saw that made that crosscore pass Dallas brought their a plus offensive game

Wiggins and pepy with Steph clay and Looney Andrew against D in the playoffs two years ago back iron there and then the worri are just getting back on defense that’s the second kind of breakaway over 50% he just lasered in two free throws that’s that’s your fault

Why did you have to say anything about their bad free throw Shooting third quarters have been a problem for the Warriors droing right on they made do work there he had to get in and take Looney as he’s rolling to the basket respect what he’s doing and fire it over there let Wiggins knock one down

A step back loves that left wing and I I mean we’re going to say this during the game at some points maybe just double him and and don’t switch cuz he’s getting the warrior Center out on him every Time jsky got hung up in the air wiggin is the escape Bou Andrew flipping it up and in I was about to say it’s your time you had such great movement there threatening drives kicking it finally got the wigets everybody’s like okay you got to go score now they just

Run a screen and then they get D on a switch Jason kids all school he’s going to keep running the same action that time step did a good job with Luca clay side step three took his time there still a high degree of difficulty but he makes it look so clean

It back out to exom in the size up psky get going with that big step Hardway Jun from the elbow and he will pick up a foul as he floats they going to get Kyrie Irving likely back next week they need him Dario Char’s first playing Time Steph he had not scored in the first quarter in nearly three games and banks in his first bucket of the Night same thing on a screen D to T Center catch it sh and Green Lasers in a three so Dallas is getting whatever they want offensively right now they’re shooting 63% everybody on Dallas is ready to shoot Luca at the middle of his attack is Steph Yanks green missing that three Looney hling

And he was out of bounds on the Baseline
