Seth Curry started at point for Mavs and scores 23 points. Carlisle: We're going to give this a look

Seth Curry started at point in Mavericks win vs. Clippers. And the experiment of Curry starting as main point guard will be replied by coach Carlisle till the end of the season.

Per ESPN, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle opted to insert center Nerlens Noel in the starting lineup Thursday night, bumping rookie point guard Yogi Ferrell to the bench and sliding the rest of the starters down a position. Curry responded to his new role by more than holding his own against perennial All-Star Chris Paul to play a key role in the Mavs' 97-95 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

"We've got to look at Curry at point with a really conventional team out there," Carlisle said after Curry scored a game-high 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting and dished out four assists. "We're going to give this a look. I don't know how many games it's going to be. It may be the rest of the year, it may not."

If Curry has his way, this experiment will extend into next season.
