The Golden State Warriors gritted out perhaps their biggest win of the year on Wednesday, beating the Dallas Mavericks 127-125 to secure a two-game road winning streak for just the second time all year.
Dallas intends to protest the result after a bizarre miscommunication led to the Warriors having an uncontested inbounds in the third quarter, but that protest is likely to fail. In all likelihood, you can put this win in the books. It’s huge because it pushes the Warriors to 38-36 and the Mavs to 36-37, while giving Golden State the tiebreaker should the teams end the year with identical records.
