Cooper Flagg and the Mavs face off against Shaedon Sharpe and the Blazers for a Western Conference throwdown in prime time.

Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks suffered a 113-107 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, marking their second straight defeat. It was also Dallas’ 21st loss of the season, dropping them to 12-21 in what has been a disappointing campaign thus far.

Western Conference foes meet in the middle matchup of the 2025 NBA Christmas schedule when the Golden State Warriors host the Dallas Mavericks. Dallas is 12-19 on the season and enters this matchup 11th in the Western Conference standings.

The Golden State Warriors claimed a 126‑116 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in an exciting NBA Christmas Game 2025. The matchup featured an intense star showdown, with Stephen Curry leading the home team’s offense and Cooper Flagg responding for Dallas.

Halfway through the second quarter of the Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, Mavs star Anthony Davis suffered from right groi.

Stephen Curry scored 23 points and knocked down a key 3-pointer with 3:45 left to help seal it, Jimmy Butler added 14 points, nine assists and nine rebounds, and the Golden State Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks 126-116.

The former (gosh, that still hurts to say) Dallas Mavericks star gave fans one of his greatest single-game performances of his career: a 60-point, 20-rebound triple-double, the first of its kind in NBA history. And a new Luka meme was unlocked, too, after he hit the unlikely game-tying basket with one second left.

With several teams competing for his services and his health being a crucial consideration, Anthony Davis' future is still up in the air. Trade negoti.
