Two nights prior, the Golden State Warriors relied on the performances of two key members of their renowned core to secure a crucial victory. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green led the charge as the Warriors defeated San Antonio, wrapping up a successful 4-1 road trip. However, as the intense playoff race enters its final stages, the Warriors found inspiration from different sources this time around.

Andrew Wiggins bounced back from a poor performance to ignite the offense, while Chris Paul and Moses Moody, along with other bench players, provided significant contributions. The Warriors clinched a tight 104-100 win over Dallas on Tuesday night at Chase Center. Wiggins led the team with 23 points, especially noteworthy on a night where Curry struggled to find his usual rhythm, managing only 13 points. Paul (14) and Moody (12) provided additional scoring off the bench, while Brandin Podziemski grabbed 10 rebounds.

Luka Doncic led the Mavericks with 30 points, with Kyrie Irving contributing 27 points. This victory extends Golden State’s winning streak to five games and solidifies their hold on the No. 10 seed, the final play-in spot, in the Western Conference standings. The Warriors now have a three-game lead over the No. 11 Houston Rockets with seven games remaining, and they also possess the tiebreaker advantage over the Rockets.
