Mavs stun Warriors with massive 4th-quarter comeback
Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks put together an impressive fourth-quarter rally to stun the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center on Sunday.
Up by as much as 21 points in the third, the Warriors' 107-101 loss snapped their streak of 62 straight regular-season wins when leading by 20 or more.
Golden State led 93-74 at the 9:59 mark of the fourth quarter and then produced just one point over the next eight minutes and 16 seconds. The Warriors were outscored 33-8 over the final 10 minutes, which included a 26-1 Mavericks run. Golden State shot 5-of-21 (23.8%) in the fourth.
"Everybody is pissed off. There isn't much that needs to be said," Warriors center Kevon Looney said postgame, according to The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears.
Doncic did the heavy lifting for Dallas, finishing with 34 points and 11 rebounds, including a pair of clutch free throws that sealed the comeback win. Spencer Dinwiddie recorded a team-best plus-17 rating off the bench and scored 10 of his 24 points in the fourth.
Stephen Curry tallied 27 points and 10 assists, while Andrew Wiggins chipped in 18 points. The loss dropped Golden State (43-18) to six games back of the top-seeded Phoenix Suns (49-12) in the Western Conference playoff picture.
The Warriors were without guard Klay Thompson due to a non-COVID-19 illness. Draymond Green, who's been out of the lineup since Jan. 9 because of a back injury, returned to practice on Saturday.
