 Tyson Chandler added 16 points and 16 rebounds for the Mavericks,
who squandered a 22-point lead in a 128-114 loss at Golden State on
Wednesday. Devin Harris scored 15 points and Richard Jefferson had
14 to lead a 41-point effort from the reserves as Dallas played
without forward Dirk Nowitzki (rest).
DeMarcus Cousins recorded 23 points and 11 rebounds but was
responsible for six of the Kings’ 17 turnovers. Rudy Gay was the
only other player to reach double figures with 11 points on 2-of-13
as Sacramento fell for the 10th time in 11 games.
 It was tied at 35 with 5:16 left in the half when the Mavericks took
control with a 14-0 run. Ellis scored 11 points in the final 2:44 of
the half, capped by a buzzer-beating 3-pointer that sent Dallas into
the break with a 60-43 cushion.
The advantage reached 73-49 on J.J. Barea’s layup just past the
midway point of the third quarter and the Mavericks cruised into the
final stanza with a 23-point edge. Harris nailed a 3-pointer with
7:03 left to push it to 92-65 as Dallas coasted to the finish.
