With Dirk, DWill, and Devin Harris out tonight the Mavs held on valiantly but Golden State did what they've done all year.
Dallas flew in to Oakland just a half game ahead of Utah for the final spot in the playoffs. It didn't look likely that the Mavs would break Golden State's home win steak down a Dirk and a Deron.
The Mavericks kept it relatively close through the end of the third quarter. Hot shooting from behind the arc kept Dallas in this game. In the the fourth Dallas got white hot and brought the game within three in the last three minutes left.
