DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks' 30-0 run Saturday night was good enough for NBA history, just not for a victory.
The Mavericks' run in the fourth quarter against Oklahoma City was the longest without allowing a basket in the play-by-play era, which dates to 1996-97.
The run lasted from 11:09 remaining in the game until 4:18, carrying Dallas from a 111-87 deficit into a 117-111 lead. It eventually went up 120-118 before the Thunder scored the game's final eight points to secure 126-120 win.
"Yeah I think when you look at the character of team, [it] was on display there," Dallas coach Jason Kidd said.
