LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets suffered a 36-point defeat at the hands of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
The Mavs were coming off the heels of an NBA Finals run, while the 76ers added an All-Star player in Paul George to their core of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
Moses Brown came in big for the Mavericks as they were missing Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford, Caleb Martin, and P.J. Washington, as Brown put up a double-double. That helped counter a double-double from Charlotte's Mark Williams, as they found a lot of success on the inside (more on this later).
