Mavericks stun Warriors with 26-1 run, comeback win on road

By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 2/27/22

Both the Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors have aspirations of deep playoff runs in the Western Conference this spring. One of them had one of, if not their most impressive victory of the season on Sunday, while the other suffered arguably their worst defeat of the campaign.

The Warriors led 93-74 with 10 minutes remaining in the 4Q.

The Mavs then went on a 26-1 run.

The Warriors had a 21-point advantage over the Mavericks at one point as well, which also led to this stunning stat.

That streak of 62 straight Warriors wins when leading by 20+ that ESPN showed was a regular-season streak.

But there was that 2019 playoff loss to the Clippers in which they led by 31. Since then, it was 49 straight wins when leading by 20+ ... until tonight.

ESPN NBA reporter Kendra Andrews also tweeted that the Warriors blown 19-point fourth quarter lead was the largest in a final frame in the league all season.

Dallas is now 36-25 and in fifth place in the Western Conference standings. Golden State is 43-18 and in second place in the conference.
