Klay Thompson brought the 🔥 to Dallas in his first game with the Mavericks, sinking six three-pointers in a 120-109 season-opening win over the San Antonio Spurs! 🌟 The sharpshooter, who signed a $50M deal this summer, dropped 22 points and lit up the second half with four triples, helping Dallas pull away late.
Teammate Luka Dončić started slow (9 first-half points) but flipped the script after halftime, finishing with 28 points and creating chaos for Spurs defenders. 🕹️ 'When Luka’s in *game mode*, everyone eats,' one fan tweeted as Dončić dished dimes to rising star Dereck Lively II (15 points, 11 rebounds).
The Mavs dominated the boards 17-12 on offensive rebounds, with Thompson, Lively, and Daniel Gafford crashing the glass like it was a Black Friday sale. 💥 Dallas’ new lineup already looks like a TikTok trend waiting to explode—swipe up for highlights! 📈
