After winning the 2021-22 NBA championship, the Golden State Warriors would have hoped for a better start to the season than a 11-11 record. Stephen Curry and his team lost their 11th game of the regular season yesterday against the Dallas Mavericks, the team they beat last season in the Western Conference Finals. However, Stephen Curry still managed to find a chuckle after the disappointing loss.

The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Golden State Warriors 116-113 yesterday night at the American Airlines Center. Luka Doncic dominated the court with 41 points 12 rebounds and 12 assists during the game. He was supported by Mavericks teammate Tim Hardaway Jr., who contributed 22 points with four rebounds and two assists. 

In response, Stephen Curry scored 32 points, with five rebounds and five assists. Additionally, Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and others chipped in with some points. However, it was not enough to seal the win. Meanwhile, Klay Thompson had a tough game, scoring just five points with seven rebounds and two assists.
