Key Plays

1. The Mavericks trailed 33-23 after one quarter, but four backups and Chandler Parsons led a mini-run that injected needed energy, highlighted by a JaVale McGee turnaround dunk with 9:24 left in the second that brought Dallas within 33-27.

2. With 4:03 left in the game and facing an 86-81 deficit, the Mavericks got a big opportunity when Andrew Wiggins was called for a flagrant-1 foul for whacking Devin Harris across the head, giving Harris two free-throws and the Mavericks an extra possession.
