Thompson scores 26 points, moves up 3-point list, as Flagg-less Mavericks
cruise past Jazz, 144-122
DALLAS (AP) --- Klay Thompson matched his season high with six 3-pointers and
moved into fourth place on career list, scoring a season-best 26 points to help
the Dallas Mavericks beat the Utah Jazz 144-122 on Thursday night.
The Mavericks (16-26) played without rookie star Cooper Flagg after he sprained
his left ankle Wednesday night in the first half of a home loss to Denver.
Thompson has 2,809 3-pointers, passing Damian Lillard (2,804) on the career
list. Stephen Curry is the leader, followed by James Harden and Ray Allen, who
had 2,973. Thompson shot 10 for 18 overall and had a season-high six assists.
The teams --- both coming off losses Wednesday night --- will meet again
Saturday in Dallas.
Naji Marshall added 22 points to help Dallas improve to 16-26. The Mavs had
season highs in points and 3-pointers (19) against the team that allows the
most points (127.0) and 3-pointers (15.6) in the NBA.
Brice Sensabaugh scored 27 points for Utah as the Jazz dropped to 14-27.
Scoring leader Lauri Markkanen sat out for the second consecutive game because
of illness.
