It was a regular workday for PJ Washington at the Dallas Mavericks. The star power forward and the Mavs locked in for a high-scoring 143-133 victory against the Golden State Warriors. The clash was marked by an explosive performance from Luka Doncic, who recorded a staggering 45-point triple-double, contributing 13 assists and 11 rebounds.

His offensive juggernaut was complemented by a robust showing from Klay Thompson, who scored 29 points. Meanwhile, Curry, not one to be outdone, managed 26 points, including a remarkable seven three-pointers, and tried his best to cope with the Mavs’ guns.

Additionally, both teams set a new NBA record by combining for a crazy total of 48 three-pointers. The Warriors also made history with their performance, scoring 27 three-pointers—the most ever recorded by a losing team in NBA history. Returning to face his former team, Thompson contributed with 29 points, hitting 7 of 11 from three-point range, much to the delight of the home crowd.

However, the turning point of the night came as the game wound down, and Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd decided to substitute his starters out of the game. This decision set the stage for PJ Washington to deliver his moment of comedic relief by mocking Curry’s famous “night-night” celebration. But it was just the start of what went on to unfold later on. The Western Conference giant, Dallas, has now improved to an impressive 17-9 record.
