Warriors 95, Mavericks 93:
Stephen Curry scored 16 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter, including the go-ahead jumper with 1.5 seconds left as Golden State stunned visiting Dallas.

Curry added 10 assists and hit six 3-pointers for the Warriors. David Lee added 15 points and 11 rebounds and Andrew Bogut grabbed 18 boards while Draymond Green provided strong defense and nine big points off the bench for Golden State.

Dirk Nowitzki and Monta Ellis scored 21 points apiece as the Mavericks dropped to 4-8 on the road. Jose Calderon added 18 points for Dallas, which led by as much as 18 points in the second quarter.

Curry’s 3-pointer with 5:09 left knotted it at 82 but Nowtizki came right back with a 3-point play and the Mavericks pushed ahead by six points. Curry did one better with a four-point play and Green’s 3-pointer on the next trip gave the Warriors their first lead since the first quarter at 93-92 with 49.9 seconds on the clock.

Ellis split a pair of free throws to tie it again and missed a fadeaway in the lane with a chance to take the lead. Golden State got the rebound and declined to call a timeout, and Curry faked Shawn Marion off his feet before stepping left and nailing a jumper from the elbow.

Back-to-back 3-pointers from Nowitzki stretched the lead to 52-34 before Klay Thompson found his stroke with a pair of 3-pointers to cut Dallas’ lead to 55-44 at the break. Ellis’ jumper made it a 15-point bulge early in the third before the Warriors began to chip away.

Curry’s 3-pointer with 6:37 left in the third cut it to 62-56, and it would remain a six-point deficit heading into the fourth. The Mavericks scored the first six points of the fourth to push it back to double figures but the Golden State turned it up on the defensive end and held Dallas scoreless for 3 1/2 minutes to get back into it.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Golden State signed C Hilton Armstrong to provide some depth in the frontcourt with Jermaine O’Neal nursing a wrist injury. Armstrong went scoreless in seven minutes in his debut. … Dallas G Devin Harris, who has yet to play this season due to a toe injury, reportedly suffered a slight setback and hopes to be back before January. … Curry committed eight of the Warriors’ 18 turnovers.
