The Dallas Mavericks (20–18) won their fourth straight game Wednesday, containing the league’s top Golden State Warriors (29–8) in a 99–82 home victory, as the Mavericks retired Dirk Nowitzki’s jersey.

With the recent return of their best player, Luka Doncic, they were missing their other top player. Kristaps Porzingis entered COVID-19 safety protocols as Doncic came out. Dallas was successful from the three-point and free-throw lines, while holding the Warriors to their season low.
