Up next: vs. Dallas on Tuesday. – 12:28 AM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplanSpencer Dinwiddie said Jason Kidd has given him a “cheat sheet” to help him acclimate as Mavs’ 3rd ball handler:
“Obviously because we’re winning, everything is optimistic and happy, so I accept the praise, but it’s much more a credit to JKidd, Luka and JB helping me.” – 11:59 PM
Dwain Price @DwainPriceThe Warriors led, 73-52, with 8:25 left in the third after after Stephen Curry nailed a 3-pointer. From there, the Mavs outscored the Warriors, 55-28, the rest of the game and won, 107-101. Jason Kidd said: “There was no quit in the group. Everybody played until the end.” pic.twitter.com/Qe2FMRpr7J – 11:53 PM
Mark Followill @MFollowillAfter 34 pts tonight, Luka ends the month of February with 10 game averages of 34.7 ppg, 10.3 rpg, and 8.8 apg…shot 45.7% FG and 41.2% on 3s. Mavs won 7 of the 10 games…expecting a Tuesday or Wednesday announcement that he’s Western Conference Player of the Month. – 11:39 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefkoSpark from Josh Green was one of the keys to the Mavericks’ biggest comeback of the season.

Dwain Price @DwainPriceHow great is Luka? Folks talking about he didn’t play well tonight, but he still ended up with 34 points and 11 rebounds, and he scored 22 points in the second half as the Mavs rallied to beat the Warriors, 107-101. By the way, Spencer Dinwiddie is flat-out balling! pic.twitter.com/DNBMVjAyyj – 11:30 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplanAs Luka Doncic left his postgame interview, a Mavs staffer wished him a happy birthday.
Luka: “Not yet. That’s bad luck.”
So was his late-game poise for the Warriors: dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… – 11:20 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplanAsked Dorian Finney-Smith if he’d feel it tomorrow after playing all 12 minutes in Q4, some as Mavs’ center.
“I feel it right now!” – 11:14 PM

Chris Biderman @TheWarriorsWireAfter the Warriors let a 21 point lead slip away to the Mavericks in a letdown loss, NBA Twitter exploded with different reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Sund… warriorswire.usatoday.com/lists/nba-twit… – 11:04 PM

Mark Followill @MFollowillMavs w/ their biggest comeback win of the season tonight at Golden State. Mavs trailed by 21 in 3Q & were down 19 w/ approx 10 mins to go. A 26-1 run happened during about 8 mins of game time. Spencer Dinwiddie had 10 pts in the run & Mavs win 107-101. They’re 20-7 in last 27 gms – 10:45 PM
Jeff Wade @SkinWadeReally tasty win. Incredible bench dividends being cashed in quickly by Dinwiddie and Bertans. Excellent boost and so very needed. – 10:44 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplanLuka Doncic on Spencer Dinwiddie, who scored 10 of his 24 points in Q4 tonight: “He’s a baller. That’s how I’m going to describe him.” – 10:37 PM
Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears“I said I was going to twist my ankle. That’s all that I said. I’m not going to talk no more,” Luka Doncic on the technical. – 10:36 PM
Jason Dumas @JDumasReports“He wasn’t having a great night so I decided to go in a different direction.”
Steve Kerr on the decision not to play Jordan Poole down the stretch. DLee got most of those minutes. – 10:31 PM

Dallas Mavericks PR @MavsPRSpencer Dinwiddie came off the bench for 24 points (10-14 FG), 4 rebounds and 5 assists tonight.

He was a team high +17 tonight. pic.twitter.com/HK60oCAJ53 – 10:15 PM
Carl Steward @stewardsfollyHere’s why Draymond Green is so critical: he’s the fulcrum of the offense, the backbone of the defense and a more impactful voice than anyone on the coaching staff in crunch time, including Kerr. – 10:12 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplanWhat a Mavs win.
Most improbable of Luka Doncic’s tenure? – 10:12 PM

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DMThe Warriors collapse at home to Dallas. A Grizzlies win tomorrow puts them one game back of Golden State. – 10:09 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslaterAnother collapse at home from the Warriors, losing a 21-point lead. Dallas beats them 34-13 in the fourth quarter. Warriors didn’t make a shot from 9:59 until 1:30 of the quarter. Drought of 8.5 minutes. They’re 2-5 in their last seven. Now only 1.5 games up on Memphis. – 10:09 PM
John Schuhmann @johnschuhmannThat streak of 62 straight Warriors wins when leading by 20+ that ESPN showed was a regular-season streak.
But there was that 2019 playoff loss to the Clippers in which they led by 31. Since then, it was 49 straight wins when leading by 20+ … until tonight. – 10:08 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahonMavs rally from 21 down — 19 in the fourth quarter — to pull out the road win over the Warriors. That’s quite a way to kick off Luka Doncic’s 23rd birthday party. – 10:08 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrewsAfter going just 4-of-18 from the floor in the fourth and a 26-1 Dallas run over an eight-minute stretch (9:44-1:30), Warriors fall to the Mavericks 107-101.
Golden State blew a 19-point fourth quarter lead, making it the largest blown lead in the fourth in the NBA this season. – 10:08 PM
StatMuse @statmuseThe Warriors led 93-74 with 10 minutes remaining in the 4Q.
The Mavs then went on a 26-1 run.
Mavs win. pic.twitter.com/hgFAdjJkdw – 10:08 PM
Brad Botkin @bradbotkincbsWarriors have covered one (Caesars) spread in the month of February – 10:07 PM
Michael Dugat @mdugLuka eventually turned it on too, but the Mavs don’t win this game without Dinwiddie … hopefully, they close it out – 10:06 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefkoLuka hits both free throws with 7.9 left and Mavs are up 106-101. – 10:05 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribeThis is back-to-back home collapses for the Warriors. They were outscored 39-30 in the fourth against Denver before the break. Now Dallas has outscored them 30-13 in the fourth. – 10:02 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavsDINWIDDIE IS THAT DUDE pic.twitter.com/Qhnx3xmAIX – 10:02 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBAJust a shocking turn here in SF, as a 23-1 Mavs run flips it completely around. Golden State scored one (1) point in 8:29. They led 93-74. – 10:01 PM
Carl Steward @stewardsfollyAll those folks who’ve said the Warriors should cut the cord with Draymond Green … so wrong. Desperately, desperately needed right now. – 10:01 PM

Dwain Price @DwainPriceLuka doing Luka things. What a comeback. Mavs up 102-96. – 9:58 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefkoA 26-1 spree put the Mavericks up 100-94 before Golden State finally got a bucket. Luka scored and Mavs are up 102-96 with 1:02 to go. Warriors have the ball. Mavericks have the momentum. – 9:57 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribeSuddenly, the Warriors can’t defend Dallas – 9:57 PM
Chris Biderman @TheWarriorsWireJames Wiseman will participate in workouts and scrimmages when traveling with the Warriors on their upcoming four-game road swing. warriorswire.usatoday.com/2022/02/27/jam… – 9:56 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavsSPENCER DINWIDDIE ARE YOU KIDDING – 9:56 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggsBones being questionable to return doesn’t surprise me. He stayed in the game and kept it limber last night, but with a day for it to tighten up after he twisted it, I can believe that it’s not responding the way he wants. Gotta get on that Steph Curry ankle protocol. – 9:56 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslaterSix Warriors points in 10 fourth quarter minutes. They’re 2-of-15 shooting. – 9:55 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribeWarriors are now 2-for-15 in the fourth quarter, including 1-for-8 from 3. – 9:55 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs23-1 RUN. – 9:55 PM

Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavsWE IN THIS. – 9:54 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribeAnd there is the Dallas lead … – 9:53 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCSAfter scoring 6 points in the first 8 minutes of the fourth quarter, Warriors lead is down to one. It’s odd to put ‘Mavs’ and ‘defense’ in the same sentence, but Jason Kidd is demanding it and getting it. – 9:53 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefkoMavericks’ 19-1 binge was accomplished mostly with Luka on the bench. Spencer Dinwiddie showing the form that made him a 20-plus scorer two seasons back. Mavericks down 94-93 with 3:54 to go. They’ve missed a couple chances to take their first lead of the game. – 9:51 PM

Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavsTHAT’S WHAT DOE DOE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!! – 9:48 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBAGolden State has 6 points in 7 minutes vs a team that has played Davis Bertans at center all 4th quarter. – 9:48 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribeKerr opts not to play Steph the entire fourth. He takes a seat as Doncic checks in – 9:48 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavsNO QUIT IN THIS TEAM. pic.twitter.com/5wGkByOlyJ – 9:47 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrewsThe Warriors are being outscored 16-5 in the fourth so far. Their weak point has been their bench unit — in which every player has a negative net rating. – 9:46 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribeWarriors have 6 points in the first six minutes of the fourth. Dinwiddie has 7 in the quarter – 9:46 PM
Michael Pina @MichaelVPinaspencer dinwiddie must’ve been realllllly unhappy in washington – 9:45 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22Warriors big lead is now down to three after back-to-back buckets by Spencer Dinwiddie. We’ve seen this movie before. – 9:45 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribeDallas have made it nervous time with Doncic still sitting and Dinwiddie playing the star role – 9:45 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavsOKAY SPENCE OKAY SPENCE 👌👌👌 – 9:44 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBAWould put Looney on Josh Green rather than DFS, who just got open vs him on a pick and pop. – 9:43 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBAThe biggest issue for Spencer Dinwiddie with the Wizards was a reduced ability to get to the basket and the line. He’s gotten into the paint pretty much at will tonight. 16 points on 7-11 and 4 AST – 9:36 PM

Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCSJonathan Kuminga, in his first home game since All-Star Weekend, is having a ruffff night – 9:20 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBAThis has been a fantastic game for Kevon Looney, who looks rejuvenated after the break. 10 points, 10 rebs, 5 AST, 3 STL +22. His PnR defense on the Luka/Powell combo has been exceptional. – 9:20 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavsLotsa game left. pic.twitter.com/Hc3ClPi8sU – 9:19 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBAFrustration challenge here by Jason Kidd. From our vantage point, Dwight Powell sent Canadian teammate Andrew Wiggins flying chasing after a loose ball. Very tough to overturn something like this. – 9:07 PM

Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrewsIn addition to Wiggins’ 13 first-half points, he held the Mavericks to 2-of-11 shooting and forced three turnovers when he was the primary defender. He and Gary Payton II held Luka Doncic to just 1-of-8 FG and four turnovers. H/T @ESPNStatsInfo – 9:05 PM

Brad Townsend @townbradI believe that’s Doncic’s 13th tech, tying him with Carmelo Anthony for the NBA lead. That would mean Doncic is 3 techs away from an auto-one-game suspension. – 8:41 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahonLuka Doncic is now tied with Carmelo Anthony for the most technical fouls this season with 13. He’s three shy of a one-game suspension, which he vows will not happen. – 8:41 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplanLuka Doncic just drew his 13th technical foul of the season and walked over to talk to Jason Kidd.
I doubt they chatted about how many techs Luka has to play with until a one-game suspension, but for those interested, it is 2 … over the next 21-plus games. – 8:41 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22Luka gets called for a tech. Stephen misses the free throw. You don’t see that every day. – 8:39 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBALuka setting up a billion open 3s for his teammates here in the 2nd quarter and they just aren’t converting. – 8:38 PM

Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCSJTA needlessly helps off Dorian Finney-Smith. Kick out. DFS corner 3. Kerr with the immediate timeout.
Helping off a decent corner shooter? Usually a mistake – 8:30 PM
Michael Dugat @mdugBertans loses his keys all the time.
All the time.
Finds them in the most random places.
Can’t hold them.
Most often, they’re found in empty vases, at the bottom of cups, in lidless trashcans, in the sink, in drains …

Jeff Wade @SkinWadeKuminga explosively wildin’ – 8:20 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribeKerr is challenging this offensive foul call on Kuminga. Doesn’t burning your challenge in the first half pretty much guarantees you will need it later? – 8:20 PM

Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCSAfter 1: Warriors 37, Mavericks 24
-After Wiggins misses 2/3 FTs, he gets cranky, scores 11 pts on 4/5 FGs
-Curry/GP2 7 pts ea
-score 9 pts off 6 DAL turnovers – 8:15 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22Warriors lead Dallas 37-24 at the end of the first quarter. Andrew Wiggins leads all scorers with 11 points. They’ve held the Mavericks to 36.8 percent shooting and have five steals. Golden State is also 6-10 from 3-point range. – 8:15 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslaterAlert defensive possession from Jonathan Kuminga the first few moments after he entered the game. Switches onto Luka Doncic early in clock, but leaves Doncic (wandering to corner) to wipe away a Maxi Kleber layup just as it is materializing behind him pic.twitter.com/V5EybsYWg1 – 8:15 PM
Brad Townsend @townbradSay what you want about Mavs’ offense, but allowing 37 first-quarter points and 60% shooting is the bigger culprit. It’s like Dallas left its defense behind at the All-Star break. – 8:12 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBASecond straight game vs the Warriors that Dallas has looked completely inept trying to stop Golden State in the halfcourt. – 8:02 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslaterWarriors rip off a 27-12 start on the Mavericks. Gary Payton II (despite limping on that shin) active on defense, bothering Doncic. Wiggins hitting shots after quiet return from break. Ball zinging around. Four Curry assists. Has 18 his last four quarters. – 8:02 PM

Brad Townsend @townbradGolden State seems to be 90-10 on the 50-50 balls. – 7:58 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22Four steals for the Warriors so far tonight. Steve Kerr praised the team for their defensive effort against the Blazers and that’s carried over. Mavericks are shooting just 2-7 early.
Warriors up 15-5 on Dallas with 7:28 left in the first quarter. – 7:56 PM

Eddie Sefko @ESefkoWord to the wise: Don’t give up on the Mavs (or Warriors, for that matter) if this game gets out of hand early. Both teams have 11 comebacks this season from 10-point (or larger) deficits this season. That’s tied for most in the league. – 7:44 PM

Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrewsJames Wiseman will travel with the Warriors on their upcoming four-game road trip to get some practice and scrimmages with the team. This rules him out of any work with the G League Warriors. Kerr says he remains day-to-day. – 5:54 PM

Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCSKlay Thompson (illness) is out, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr is unwilling to divulge who will replace him in the starting lineup. ‘It’s the stretch run (smile).’
Adds that GP2 will make his third straight start. – 5:53 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslaterJames Wiseman will join the Warriors on this upcoming four-game road trip, doing scrimmages/work with team. That would rule him out of the four Santa Cruz games this week. Steve Kerr continues to maintain the “day-to-day” approach with Wiseman’s rehab, no target return. – 5:52 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22Kerr won’t say who’s starting in place of Klay tonight. – 5:51 PM

Haven’t lost 2 in a row since Warriors on Christmas and Memphis on Ja Morant winner Dec. 27.

Deandre Ayton and Jae Crowder were in health/safety protocols, too – 5:43 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCSJonathan Kuminga wants to be great but didn’t always care to listen. It showed.
