The Mavericks showcased an impressive offensive display at the Chase Center, with the team's field goal percentage settling at an efficient 56 percent. Their prowess from beyond the arc was also notable as they hit 16 three-pointers at a solid 40 percent clip. The free throw line was equally kind to Dallas, with an accuracy rate of 82 percent on their attempts.


Dallas' dominance was further highlighted by their substantial lead of up to 16 points during the game. They maintained control for over three-quarters of playtime and were able to capitalize on turnovers by scoring 15 points off them. The bench contributed significantly as well, adding a hefty 46 points to the team's total score.


On defense, Dallas managed to block two shots and came away with five steals. They drew fouls effectively throughout the contest which resulted in them having more opportunities from the charity stripe compared to their opponents. Rebounding was another area where Dallas excelled; they grabbed a total of 49 rebounds including six offensive boards which helped them generate additional scoring chances.


Meanwhile, Golden State put up a valiant effort but couldn't keep pace with Dallas' scoring efficiency. Despite having more steals (eight) and blocks (three), they struggled defensively allowing Dallas to shoot nearly seventy percent from two-point range and over sixty-five percent for effective field goal percentage.


Golden State did manage to out-rebound Dallas slightly with a total of fifty-four rebounds but it wasn't enough to swing momentum in their favor. Their bench scored thirty-seven points while they led only briefly during the match by four points.


Looking ahead after this impressive road win, fans can catch The Mavericks next facing off against Utah Jazz at Delta Center in Salt Lake City on January first at eight PM Central Time. This upcoming matchup will be broadcasted on KJZZ for local viewers and BSSW channel six hundred seventy-six for those following from away.
