Dorian Finney-Smith tipped in his own miss to give Dallas the lead for good with 5:05 to play and the Mavericks (36-25) used a 26-1 run to erase a 19-point, fourth-quarter deficit en route to a shocking 107-101 (24-37, 24-23, 26-28, 33-13) victory over the host Golden State Warriors (43-18) on Saturday night in San Francisco.

Player of the Game EFF 27 Luka Doncic Points 34 Accuracy 10-21 Rebounds 11 Assists 2

Luka Doncic, the leading scorer among visitors in the 3-year history of Chase Center, went for a game-high 34 points as part of a double-double with a game-high 11 rebounds for the Mavericks, who successfully rebounded from a loss at Utah on Friday night.

Stephen Curry finished with a team-high 27 points for the Warriors, who were attempting to build upon the momentum of a blowout win at Portland coming out of the All-Star break on Thursday night.

After leading by as many as 21 points and then 88-74 entering the final period, the Warriors got a 3-point hoop from Otto Porter Jr. and a layup from Damion Lee to extend the margin to 19 in the third minute of the fourth quarter before the Mavericks dominated the rest of the way.

The go-ahead flurry began with a 16-0 run that featured seven points from Spencer Dinwiddie and six from Josh Green.

A free throw by Andrew Wiggins temporarily stalled the skid and increased the Golden State lead to 94-90 with 6:14 to go, but Finney-Smith buried a 3-pointer and then followed in his own interior miss to give Dallas the lead for good.

The flurry didn't end there. When Luka Doncic dropped in a short jumper and Dinwiddie bombed in a 3-pointer, all of a sudden the Mavericks found themselves in command at 100-94 with just 1:43 to play.

Curry kept Warriors hopes alive at 104-101 on a 3-pointer with 8.6 seconds left, but Doncic capped his big night with two free throws seven-tenths of a second later to ice the Mavericks' fifth win in their last six trips to Golden State.
