Unfortunately for the Warriors, Dallas also was red hot, draining 12 of 25 3-point attempts en route to an 81-74 halftime lead.
The 30 combined 3-pointers between Golden State and the Mavericks is tied for the most by any two teams in a half in NBA history.
Longtime Splash Brother Klay Thompson drained a pair of triples, while All-NBA guard Luka Dončić dropped in four of his own.
While usually it's safe to assume that level of efficiency can't be sustained over the course of an entire game, it would be unwise to bet against either of these teams cooling down from deep.
