Dallas Mavericks lose to Golden State Warriors
DALLAS - Latrell Sprewell scored 28 points and Joe Smith added
20 points and 12 rebounds as the Golden State Warriors snapped
a four-game losing streak with a 107-99 victory over the Dallas
Mavericks Thursday night.
Sprewell fell far short of the 46 points he scored in the Warriors'
105-93 decision over the Mavericks on Jan. 21, the last meeting
between the teams, but the All-Star guard still hit 9-of-18 shots
as Golden State handed Dallas its fourth defeat in the last six
games.
Bimbo Coles connected on a 3-pointer with 8:52 to play to break
an 87-87 tie and the Warriors went on to a 7-0 run for a 94-87
lead.
Dallas, led by Chris Gatling's 19 points and 13 rebounds, was
never able to get closer than three points the rest of the way.
Sam Cassell added 18 points and Michael Finley had 15 for the
Mavericks.
In an attempt to shake up his team, coach Jim Cleamons started
Gatling, his sixth man all season, at power forward and moved
A.C. Green to center in place of Eric Montross.
The Mavericks showed more energy in the first half than they
did in their last game, a poorly-played 111-97 home loss to San
Antonio. Send
