Klay Thompson expressed frustration after being benched in the Warriors' win over the Nets.
Jacque Vaughn credited his team's resilience and fight battling back from being down 20 in the 3rd to getting within 6 "For (Kyrie) and Luka to shoot a high percentage tonight (and) for us to still be in the game is a credit to our guys"
Nets fall to the Mavericks 119-107. Irving and Doncic combined for 71 points on 28/51 shooting. The record is 20-30. Trade deadline is Thursday.
Back-to-back treys from Irving pushes Dallas' lead back to 12 with 4:23 left. He has 36 points and six 3-pointers. https://t.co/V3wkArSFEn
Who else? Back-to-back threes by Kyrie Irving kick this lead back up to 12 Irving's got 36 pts and counting on six 3s. Three more than Durant in his return to Barclays last week

Nets cut it to 9 but then the Mavericks went on a 11-0 run capped by those long Doncic 3-balls. Luka Magic in full effect
Mavericks 95, Nets 77 end of 3 Back-to-back 30+ foot 3s by Doncic fired up Barclays before the end of the 3rd. That last one was 36 feet 29P/14R/7A for Doncic 28 pts Kyrie Irving Bridges has 18.
Nets got it to nine at one point, Luka hits two deep 3s and Mavs are back up by 20. Buzzer sounded to end the third quarter before he got the heat check attempt up. He's got 29 and Irving has 28.
Jacque Vaughn with a Popovich-esque timeout 46 seconds into the second half after the Nets give Irving a wide-open 3-pointer. Dallas leads 70-47.
Nets down 18 at halftime. Kyrie and Luka have combined for 36 points on 15/25 shooting. Brooklyn went 10 deep in the first half, but it hasn't done it any favors at either end of the court. No offensive rhythm (38.3%) and little resistance on defense (57.8%).
Mavericks' lead grows to 20 points with 4:23 left in the half. Nets are down a few guys, sure. But Dallas is just in a different gear.
Nets trail 31-24 after one quarter. Vaughn has already used nine players, including rookie Noah Clowney. Mavericks are 13/26 from the field (50%). Doncic and Irving both have 9 points. O'Neale has a team-high 6 points for Brooklyn.
Luka Doncic appears to have ditched the mask he wore to start tonight’s game.

Jason Kidd talked about Kyrie’s calming effect on the Mavs. Calmness does not describe his time in Brooklyn, where he’s back tonight.
Jason Kidd says it’s unlikely Dereck Lively joins Dallas on this road trip, and that Luka Doncic might have to wear a mask if he plays tonight against Brooklyn.
Luka Doncic will go through his on-court warmup with the plan to play, Jason Kidd said. Kyrie Irving is good to go vs the Nets.
Jason Kidd says Luka Doncic will warm up with the intention to play tonight, and says Kyrie Irving will play tonight in Brooklyn.

Gui Santos with 18 good minutes for Golden State, finshing with nine points, five rebounds -- and a game-high plus-13. Warriors limit the Nets to 38.2% shooting and 31% from 3-point range. Draymond Green adds 8/9/7.
Gui Santos is listed as 6'6" 185lbs on a lot of sites, but one site has him listed as 6'8" 205lbs. I'm assuming the latter is the update. Warriors must have a closing 4 next to Draymond for their D to stay connected, and Santos was that guy tonight. Hats off to him.

Gui Santos kept the Warriors connected at PF in this game. Gui Santos. With all respect, he's a G League player trying to find his way. Imagine if the Warriors can upgrade that PF position next to Draymond with a trade. Props to Gui, though.
After a solid first half by the Sixers — they ran out of gas in the second, outscored by 20. Falling to the Mavs, 118-102. @DerekBodnerNBA and @_devongivens break it all down at 9:35. @KyleNeubeck joins from the arena. https://t.co/WEeV0s1I8A https://t.co/USu13EZPOU
The Sixers kept it tight through three quarters but saw the game slip away to the Mavs, making it six losses in their last seven-games. @NoahLevick delivers his observations: ⤵ https://t.co/abzE9HdeYF
118-102 Mavs win. - Sixers lose their 6th in the last 7. - Just 17 3rd quarter points. - Mavs scored on 10 straight possessions in 4th to blow the game wide open. I'll be on with @_devongivens at 9:35 to talk about that slop. https://t.co/3Q6JLELzpl https://t.co/zNuCrKuMSf
Brooklyn shooting through three quarters: Bridges: 4/12 Thomas: 2/15 Dinwiddie: 3/10 O'Neale: 0/6 Johnson: 5/9 Smith: 4/7 Walker went 1/2 before exiting in the first quarter. Warriors lead 75-70
Warriors 75, Nets 70 end of 3. Somebody will win but it'll be a grinding, ugly battle to get there Nets shooting 37.1%, Warriors 42.3% Claxton: 15 pts, 6 blks Kuminga: 18 pts GSW winning the rebound battle 46-30
The Warriors briefly had their first lead since the 1st Q before that Nic Claxton shot. They've been the aggressor this Q and the Nets have been on their heels defensively Also the Nets' offense is still struggling as GSW gets going
This one is going to go down to the wire. After three quarters the @sixers trail the Mavericks 77-74. Kelly Oubre Jr. - 17 pts Tobias Harris - 14 pts Tyrese Maxey - 12 pts Josh Green - 20 pts Kyrie Irving - 18 pts Luka Doncic - 13 pts #BrotherlyLove https://t.co/DQD2MUUQCz
Nets in the first half shoot 6 of 26 from 3-point range. Mikal Bridges/Spencer Dinwiddie/Cam Thomas a combined 1 of 12 from deep.
Warriors obviously aren't the Warriors anymore, but they just played one of the worst halves you'll see. 2 for 11 on 3s, 10 turnovers, and trail the Nets 49-43.
It's Halftime and the @sixers lead the Mavericks 57-53. Kelly Oubre Jr. (PHI)- 12 pts Tobias Harris (PHI)- 10 pts Tyrese Maxey (PHI)- 8 pts Josh Green (DAL)- 15 pts Luka Doncic (DAL)- 8 pts #brotherlylove https://t.co/hL59isiBD5
Six first-quarter giveaways have the Warriors in a 23-20 hole after the first 12 minutes. Jonathan Kuminga with a couple nice takes, a middy and two free throws for eight points. Nets have already launched 16 triples (3 of 16) and are shooting 34.6% from the floor.
The Warriors have gifted the Nets 12 points thanks to seven turnovers this Q.
This isn't a quarter for NBA purists.....or masochists, even. Nets up 15-14 on the Warriors and it feels dull so far. Both teams are a combined 11-32 from the floor.
At the end of the 1st Quarter the @sixers lead the Mavericks 33-26. Kelly Oubre Jr.- 9 pts Tyrese Maxey- 7 pts Marcus Morris St.- 5 pts #brotherlylove https://t.co/4VO3bvQjEu
