DALLAS — Here are five observations from the Warriors' 133-103 win over the Mavericks at American Airlines Center on Monday, pushing them to a 2-2 record on the season…
1. Best of their four games
Predictable performance from the Warriors. They typically respond well to a mini rough patch and a little criticism, especially when given an off-day to stew in it. They were sharp on Monday from the jump, bolting out to an 18-6 cushion, whipping the ball around on offense and finally playing a long stretch of focused, energized defense.
The game wasn't without a lull, though.
