Klay Thompson exploded for 21 of his 23 points in the first quarter, tying a Dallas record with seven 3-pointers in the period, as the Mavericks cruised past the league-worst Washington Wizards 130-108 on Monday night.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper added a career-high 20 points for the Mavericks (25-22), who started with a 13-2 run and built a 38-point lead by halftime.

Bilal Coulibaly led the Wizards (6-39) with 16 points as they extended their losing streak to 14 games, including 21 straight road losses. In his second game back after an ankle sprain, Thompson played 24 minutes, sitting out the fourth quarter along with most Dallas starters.
