After a great win in which the Dallas Mavericks put together one of the most complete games in a long time, the Mavs fell big to the defending Western Conference Champions, the Golden State Warriors. The score shows a blowout, but it was not that the whole game.
The Mavs finally fell to the Warriors as they pulled away to an insurmountable level near the middle of the 4th quarter. Dallas was without Dirk Nowitzki (achilles), Devin Harris (toe), Deron Williams (calf), Wesley Matthews (rest), and Andrew Bogut (rest).
