  newser | Associated Press | Apr 22, 08 9:44 PM CDT

  newser | Associated Press | Apr 13, 08 7:30 AM CDT

- Warriors Top Mavs to Keep West Race Tight
  
  newser | NBA.com | Mar 31, 08 3:00 AM CDT
  
  A well-rested Dallas team couldn't rein in the exhausted but determined Warriors, who won last night's game 114-104 after a slow start. Josh Howard's 36 points weren't enough to make up for the continued absence of Dirk Nowitzki, nor was Jason Kidd's near triple-double (13 points, 14 assists, nine boards), reports Mavs.com. Elsewhere in the hotly contested Western Conference: More »
- Warriors Torch Roy-less Blazers
  
  newser | Associated Press | Mar 28, 08 1:19 AM CDT
  
  The Warriors didn't get a single foul call playing at home in the first half, then went to the line 20 times in an aggressive, decisive third quarter, en route to beating the Trail Blazers 111-95. Portland was without star guard Brandon Roy, whose balky groin may not allow him to return this season. Stephen Jackson led Golden State with 24 points. More »
- Dallas Approaches Playoffs Precipice
  
  newser | Associated Press | Mar 28, 08 1:12 AM CDT
  
  Jason Kidd's Mavericks remain winless against winning teams after Carmelo Anthony's Nuggets took control in the third quarter to win 118-105. It was a devastating loss for Dallas, which is now only one game ahead of Denver, the West's ninth place team, for the conference's final playoff spot. The Nuggets have the tiebreaker should they finish the season with the same record as the Mavericks, reports the Associated Press. More »

  newser | Associated Press | Mar 26, 08 4:41 AM CDT

Howard started slowly before exploding in the third quarter, scoring 20 rapid points to break open a 60-58 lead into a 16-point Dallas advantage by the fourth. More »
- Dallas Loses Dirk, Game in Hellish Third Quarter
  
  newser | Dallas Morning News | Mar 23, 08 9:48 PM CDT
  
  In a nightmarish third quarter, the Mavericks allowed a game-changing 19-0 run by their archrivals and saw their star forward, Dirk Nowitzki, sustain a lower leg injury on a nasty spill. The sweet-shooting Bavarian is likely to miss a minimum of 6-7 games, reports the Dallas Morning News, and now Dallas's playoff hopes rest in the balance. More »

  newser | Associated Press | Mar 21, 08 12:16 AM CDT
