After snapping the Mavericks' winning streak at Chase Center on Tuesday, the Warriors had their streak ended in a 108-106 loss in Dallas on Friday. With both teams short-handed, PJ Washington was a difference maker for the Mavericks, scoring a game-high 32 points with five made threes. Stephen Curry led the way for the Warriors, scoring half of his 28 points in the fourth quarter. After Washington's go-ahead field goal, the Warriors were unable to convert the potential game-winning 3-point attempt.

CP3 ENGINEERS 16-POINT FIRST QUARTER COMEBACK
Unlike their hot start in Houston, the Warriors found themselves in a 16-point hole in the first quarter on Friday. However, they responded with a 19-2 run, capped by a Chris Paul buzzer-beating splash that gave the Dubs the lead. Paul was a plus-17 in the quarter, executing an effective 2-for-1 to end the frame. The Warriors' bench shot a perfect 7-for-7 in the period.

PAUL KEEPS APPLYING PRESSURE
Paul continued to control the game with four steals in the second quarter alone, tied for the most steals he's had in a quarter in his career. After playing his usual shift with the reserves well into the second period, Paul returned with 2:57 left in the frame and closed the half with the starters. The Dubs outscored Dallas by eight points with 'CP3' on the floor in the quarter and his lob to Trayce Jackson-Davis gave them the lead at the break.
Paul finished the game with nine points, eight assists, five rebounds, four steals and a block. He was a plus-22 in 31 minutes, by far the highest plus-minus in the game.

CLUTCH CURRY
Trailing by eight with 10:42 remaining in the fourth quarter, Head Coach Steve Kerr decided to bring Curry in earlier than his usual substitution pattern. Kerr's decision paid off as Curry's clutch 3-pointer in the final minute cut the deficit to one and gave him 12 points in the quarter. After a Mavericks' free throw, Curry tied the score with a clutch step-back mid-range jumper. He finished the quarter with 14 points on 5-for-10 shooting.
