Quarter-by-Quarter Breakdown
First Quarter: Golden State Takes the Early Lead
Dallas scored first through a Naji Marshall three-pointer, but Golden State quickly answered. Brandin Podziemski hit from deep, Draymond Green attacked the basket, and the Warriors began creating points from several spots in the lineup.
Golden State scored 34 in the opening quarter and finished it three points ahead. The early advantage mattered because Dallas was about to produce its highest-scoring quarter of the night.
Second Quarter: Dallas Takes Control
The Mavericks opened the second period with Daniel Gafford scoring inside, followed by John Poulakidas hitting from three. Cooper Flagg continued to create offense, and Dallas started getting clean shots both around the rim and from outside.
Dallas scored 42 points in the quarter and carried a 73-63 lead into halftime. Its advantage reached 15 points during the first half, giving Golden State a significant deficit to erase.
Third Quarter: Warriors Erase the Deficit
Golden State changed the direction of the game after halftime. The Warriors scored 35 points while holding Dallas to 25.
Moses Moody found his range, Brandin Podziemski produced from the backcourt, and Kristaps Porzingis added scoring inside and outside. By the end of the period, the 10-point halftime deficit was gone and the game was tied 98-98.
Fourth Quarter: Dallas Forces Overtime
Golden State opened the fourth with an 11-0 run. Cooper Flagg committed three turnovers during that stretch, helping the Warriors turn a tie game into an immediate double-digit advantage.
Dallas recovered. With just over a minute left, Flagg found Max Christie in the corner and Christie hit the three-pointer that tied the game at 126.
Dallas had another late chance. Flagg drew the defense and passed to an open Naji Marshall, but Marshall missed the three. Regulation ended tied.
Overtime: Warriors Strike First
Golden State scored the first seven points of overtime. Moody, Podziemski and Gary Payton II were involved as Dallas was forced to play from behind again.
With 58 seconds left, Moody stole the ball from Flagg near midcourt and headed toward an open basket. His left leg gave way as he tried to finish the play, and he went down holding his knee.
Moody eventually left the floor with medical assistance. Only one more point was scored after the injury, and Golden State closed the game 137-131.

Dallas shot 58.6 percent from the field compared with Golden State’s 50.5 percent, yet the Warriors created 14 more field-goal attempts. Their work on the glass was a major reason.
Golden State collected 17 offensive rebounds and 49 total rebounds. Dallas finished with only five offensive rebounds and 26 overall.
Key Numbers That Shaped the Game
The largest gap came on the boards. Golden State won the rebound battle by 23 and had a 17-5 advantage in offensive rebounds. Those extra possessions reduced the damage caused by Dallas’ higher shooting percentage.
The Warriors’ bench also scored 61 points compared with 39 from Dallas. Golden State had eight players reach double figures, which helped compensate for the absence of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler III and several other rotation pieces.
Ball security was an issue for both sides. Golden State committed 24 turnovers and Dallas had 23, but the Warriors recorded 16 steals. Flagg had seven of Dallas’ turnovers, including three during Golden State’s 11-0 run to start the fourth.

Top Performers
Moses Moody
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK |
| 23 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
Moody returned after missing 10 games with a sprained right wrist and immediately became Golden State’s leading scorer. He made four three-pointers and added three steals and two blocks, giving the Warriors production on both ends.
His late steal from Flagg could have created another transition basket, but the play instead ended with Moody suffering a left-knee injury. He left with 58 seconds remaining in overtime. His scoring had already helped Golden State recover from the first-half deficit and reach the extra period.
Kristaps Porzingis
| PTS | REB | AST | FG | FT |
| 22 | 7 | 5 | 7-17 | 6-7 |
Porzingis gave Golden State another scoring option while Stephen Curry remained out. He scored 22 points, grabbed seven rebounds and handed out five assists in 29 minutes. His two offensive rebounds contributed to Golden State’s large advantage on the glass, and he also reached the foul line seven times.
Porzingis had been dealing with back problems earlier in the month, so his ability to handle a larger role mattered in a game where Golden State needed points from several sources. He finished with a plus-three differential.
Brandin Podziemski
| PTS | REB | AST | OREB | MIN |
| 20 | 10 | 6 | 5 | 40 |
Podziemski produced the game’s only double-double for Golden State. His five offensive rebounds were especially important because they helped the Warriors create second chances despite Dallas shooting at a much higher percentage.
He also added six assists and played 40 minutes, the most on the Warriors. Podziemski scored from both levels, making eight of 15 shots and two three-pointers. He contributed during Golden State’s second-half comeback and remained on the floor as the Warriors built the early overtime advantage that Dallas could not erase.
Cooper Flagg
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | FG |
| 32 | 4 | 9 | 2 | 12-19 |
Flagg led all scorers with 32 points and added nine assists. He shot 12-of-19 from the field and made all six of his free throws. His passing also created important late chances, including Christie’s game-tying three and Marshall’s open attempt near the end of regulation. Turnovers were the major problem in his line.
Flagg committed seven, including three during Golden State’s 11-0 run to start the fourth quarter. Those lost possessions allowed the Warriors to create separation before Dallas recovered and forced overtime.
Daniel Gafford
| PTS | REB | AST | FG | BLK |
| 20 | 7 | 5 | 8-8 | 1 |
Gafford did not miss a field-goal attempt, finishing 8-for-8 on his way to 20 points. He added seven rebounds and five assists while giving Dallas an interior target throughout the first three quarters. His efficiency helped the Mavericks shoot close to 59 percent as a team. Dallas then lost him during the fourth quarter because of a right-shoulder contusion.
That removed the team’s leading rebounder from the closing stages and overtime, when Golden State’s advantage on the boards and its ability to create extra possessions remained important.

Conclusion
Golden State left Dallas with an important result in its attempt to remain in the Western Conference Play-In field. The win stopped a three-game losing streak and moved the Warriors to 34-38 with 10 regular-season games left. Their immediate focus then shifted to Moody’s knee and a return home to face Brooklyn on March 25.
Dallas moved to 23-49 and was officially eliminated from postseason contention. The Mavericks still had development minutes available for Flagg and their younger rotation, but the next challenge arrived quickly with a road game against Denver on March 25. Gafford’s shoulder injury also became another health issue to track after an already injury-heavy season.
