On Wednesday's night's game, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks 125-122 in a close victory. Stephen Curry had another magnificent game, scoring 32 points from 11-of-19 shooting, while going 6-of-13 from deep.

In the closing seconds of the game, Harrison Barnes scored on a layup to tie the contest at 122 with under 20 seconds left for the Warriors to hoist a shot. Golden State had no timeouts and Stephen Curry came up the court with the ball, ran across a pick, and buried a 24-foot 3-pointer. This effectively ended the game, as the Mavs has no time to throw up a decent shot afterwards.

Although, this was the sixth game winner for the star point guard, Steve Kerr was not too pleased after the game. In fact, he was upset with how the Warriors played down the stretch in the final quarter.

In the final minutes of the game, the Mavs went on a 10-0 run to tie the game against a Warriors team that committed turnovers and took questionable shots. As a matter of fact, sans the game-winning three by Stephen Curry at the end, the Warriors played an average game.

While Curry scored 32 points, Kevin Durant (25 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, four blocks), Klay Thompson (25 points, five rebounds, four assists), and Draymond Green (18 points, 10 rebounds, six assists) played very well. The Warriors bench only scored 18 points.

The underlying fact about Wednesday's game was the Warriors' defense. Known as a defensive juggernaut, anchored by Kevin Durant and Draymond Green, the Warriors allowed the Mavericks to shoot 19 3-pointers. This was even more than they allowed on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies, who knocked down 15 3-pointers on them.

The Warriors have a knack of making mistakes down the stretch, but it appears that with Stephen Curry back, they have some degree of saving grace.
