April 02, 2008 0 comments

Dallas - The Golden State Warriors were dealt a critical blow to their playoff chances, by getting blown out for a second straight night and losing to the Dallas Mavericks 111-86.  With the loss, the Warriors can no longer win any tiebreaking scenario with the Mavs or Nuggets.  Monta Ellis was one of the few players on the team to show up for the nationally televised game.  His mid-range jumper was falling, and he even made two 3-pointers on his way to 27 points.  He also added 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
