Klay Thompson lit up the court for the Dallas Mavericks, scoring 21 of his 23 points in the first quarter and matching a franchise record by sinking seven 3-pointers in the period. The Mavericks triumphed over the struggling Washington Wizards, winning 130-108. Thompson's performance ties the record for 3-pointers in any quarter, previously set by Luka Doncic. Despite playing only 24 minutes, Thompson exhibited his shooting prowess after returning from a sprained ankle.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper contributed significantly with 20 points, while the Mavericks swiftly established a commanding lead against the league's worst team, pushing ahead by as much as 38 points before halftime. Meanwhile, the Wizards continued their dismal season, marking their 14th consecutive loss and struggling with their road game performance.
