SAN FRANCISCO—Andrew Wiggins scored 23 points and the Golden State Warriors overcame Luka Doncic’s 20th triple-double of the season to beat Dallas 104–100 on Tuesday night, snapping the Mavericks’ seven-game winning streak.

Doncic, the NBA’s leading scorer at 33.9 points per game, finished with 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists. His 20 triple-doubles trail only Domantas Sabonis (26) of the Sacramento Kings and the Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic (23). Doncic also recorded his 48th 30-point game of the season, second only to Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (50).
