OAKLAND, Calif. -- Klay Thompson figured it would just be a matter of time until his outside shot started falling again. That time came in the first quarter.Thompson hit his first seven shots and scored 18 of his 20 points in the opening period, and the Golden State Warriors cruised past the undermanned Dallas Mavericks 116-95 on Wednesday night.I feel its coming every game, honestly, he said. I wont let missed shots dictate how hard I play. As long as I play hard, I know Ill be successful. Its that simple.Kevin Durant led Golden State with 28 points, Stephen Curry added 24 and Draymond Green had 16 points and 10 rebounds as the Warriors used their outside shooting to build a 19-point lead in the first quarter and never looked back.Harrison Barnes scored 25 points to lead Dallas in his first game against the Warriors since leaving as a free agent last summer. But he didnt get nearly enough help.The first half it was kind of like a deer in headlights, he said. It was kind of like the scouting report went out the window and we were just out there playing. Once guys settled in we did a much better job.Thompson had been in a bit of a shooting slump to start the season, making just 11 of 53 3-pointers in the first seven games. But he returned to form from the start in this one. He hit four of Golden States eight 3s in the opening quarter during a span of just more than 2 minutes.It was good to see him get the 3-point stroke going, coach Steve Kerr said. He started off on fire. It didnt carry over the rest of the game, but he had a tremendous first quarter. You can see it coming. Its absolutely coming with Klay.Durant got going after that and extended the lead to 67-34 in the final minute of the first half with his own shot from long range.The Mavericks managed to cut the deficit to 13 early in the fourth quarter but never really threatened Golden State the rest of the way.TIP-INSMavericks: Starting guards J.J.

They both got long ovations before the game and a video tribute in the first quarter for their roles in winning the NBA title in 2015 and a record 73 regular-season games last season.The fans here are phenomenal, Barnes said. They showed love ever since my rookie year up until my last year here, so it was very nice.BROTHERLY LOVEWith Barea sitting, Seth Curry got the start for Dallas and a matchup with big brother Steph.

Pittsburgh Penguins Pro Shop . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. Striker Roy ODonovan can see another Central Coast win on the horizon but has implored his A-League side to cork their chronically loose defence.ODonovan can see marked improvements as the Mariners gradually adjust to the philosophy of new coach Paul Okon, evidenced by a strong first half against Newcastle last weekend.Yet the Gosford-based side have retained their tendency for silly errors as they hunt for a second win this campaign - and a first clean sheet since April 2015.ODonovan was perplexed by elements of the clubs off-season recruitment prior to Tony Walmsleys sacking, namely the decision to sign just one experienced defender in Jacques Faty after conceding 70 goals on their way to last seasons wooden spoon.Were still making the same mistakes by and large as last season as a team, ODonovan told AAP.Defensively, we tend to give away goals pretty easily every week - we havent kept a clean sheet in a long time.Thats a really big problem, something that wasnt dealt with last year at the end of the season with the signings that were made.We conceded 70 goals last year yet we only signed Jacques Faty as a defensive replacement.Jacques is a good player, but one player doesnt make a defence.ddddddddddddThat, for me, was very strange.But weve had new coaches come in and theyve changed things around defensively to make (the whole team) more of a solid unit.But at this moment in time, its still not perfect.The Mariners will be short in central defence against Perth on Thursday night, with Liam Rose suspended and both Faty and Jacob Poscoliero injured, meaning captain Nick Montgomery could be shifted back.In attack, Connor Pain, Fabio Ferreira and Blake Powell have pace to burn and ODonovan described the front third as the last piece of the puzzle..In the final pass, the final cross, we havent been as fluent as we can be, he said.Were only seven games in but hopefully it clicks sooner rather than later and some team gets a real taste of what were all about.The other side of the coin is were seven games in and weve only had one home game.Im not going to count Canberra (2-0 loss to Wellington) as a home game because it never felt like one.Six away games and six points - its not a bad starting point.
