Warriors show Barnes what he left in win over Mavericks
Seldom stopping to dribble, he poured in a game-high 29 points on 11-of-19 shooting from the field (5-of-11 from three-point range). Kevin Durant chipped in 19 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for his first triple-double as a Warrior, and Draymond Green (13 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in only 27 minutes) was his typical stat-stuffing self. Playing their fourth game in five nights, the Mavericks couldn't climb back after digging a 25-point hole in the third quarter. Barnes hit timely jumpers to help Dallas cling to a three-point lead as late as the opening minutes of the second quarter. In the final three games of the 2016 NBA Finals, when Golden State blew its 3-1 lead and lost the series, he totaled 15 points and shot 5-for-32. Durant replaced him in Golden State's starting lineup, and Barnes landed a four-year, $94 million contract from the Mavericks in free agency. [...] as Nowitzki's inevitable retirement nears, Barnes is emerging as a go-to scorer. Because he's putting up great numbers, and he's doing it in an efficient way.
