The Golden State Warriors open the NBA regular season tournament with Tuesday night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks. The game will be played in San Francisco at 7:00 PM PT and can be viewed on TNT.

Previously with the Warriors:

Golden State bounced back strongly from a tough loss to Cleveland with a solid 127-116 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night. A torrid 42-point third quarter – in which the Warriors doubled the Thunder’s scoring – left them with a 107-79 lead entering the fourth. But despite the 28-point cushion, Oklahoma City fought back, forcing Golden State’s starters to return and finish the job. That’s when the reigning Clutch Player of the Year, Stephen Curry, came through with two critical threes in the final minutes, putting the Thunder to bed and sealing the victory.

What to pay attention to tonight:

Contrary to what some may say, it’s impossible to believe that Tuesday night’s game is “just another regular season game in November.” Warriors legend Klay Thompson returns to the Chase Center floor in a game that will undoubtedly be filled with emotions from players, coaches and fans everywhere.

In addition to Thompson, Dallas features a dynamic defensive duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving – who are averaging 28.3 and 25.6 points per game, respectively – and have propelled the Mavericks to a top 10 offensive rating in the league.

The Warriors will have to rely on their fourth-down defense to counter the Mavs’ offensive firepower. Head coach Steve Kerr noted that De’Anthony Melton will continue to start for them, setting a strong defensive tone for Golden State alongside Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

And it’s safe to say: Green is especially looking forward to setting a strong tone for Tuesday’s game.

Enjoy the Dub Nation game. GO WARRIORS!!!
