WHO: The Golden State Warriors host the Dallas Mavericks
WHAT: Maybe another 40-point performance from Beaubois?
WHERE: ORACLE Arena, Oakland, CA
WHEN: WAY too late. 9:30pm CT
HOW: ESPN | FSSW-DAL | CSN-BA | KESN | KNBR | NBAC (Canada)
THE STORY: Last night's loss to Portland was frustrating for several reasons. One, the Mavericks shot a perfect 11-11 to start, and finished shooting nearly 60%, and yet they still lost. Two, the team had five players in double figures, and Dirk Nowitzki managed a double-double... in a loss. Finally, the Blazers could quite possibly be our first round match-up and we failed to play even a smidgen of defense. So tonight... well tonight, we just need a win so we're not totally hopeless heading into the Spurs game on Friday. Sorry, GSW. You just don't mean that much to us anymore.

Third-string Dallas Mavericks center Ian Mahinmi got a chance to play extended minutes Tuesday night at Portland with Brendan Haywood scratched with lower back stiffness.
