The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Golden State Warriors 116-113 thanks to Luka Doncic's sixth triple-double of the season.

He led the way with 41 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists in a repeat of last season's Western Conference finals.

It marks the Slovenian's 51st triple-double of his career.

"It's getting boring," Mavericks coach Jason Kidd remarked. "I mean, let's try something new. Maybe he should do it with his left hand."

Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 32 points, but teammate Klay Thompson missed a three-pointer with 2.6 seconds remaining in the contest.

The Los Angeles Clippers rallied from behind to defeat the Portland Trail Blazers 118-112, despite the absence of injured top player Damian Lillard. Norman Powell led the Clippers with 32 points off the bench.
