The Dallas Mavericks, still barely hanging on to a playoff spot as I type this, found themselves in a tight game with the Golden State Warriors last night. Even though the Warriors were 61-6 and chasing history, the game didn't seem to have the intensity one would associate to a heavy underdog fighting tooth and nail with a Goliath. On the contrary, there was more of an ABA playground feel to the proceedings with both sides threatening to short-circuit the scoreboard and little to no defense being played.
J.J. Barea tossed in a 25-footer and it was 98-97, Warriors with just under nine minutes to go.
