Davis Scores 34, Game-winner As Warriors Beat Mavs
Jason Richardson had 32 points and Troy Murphy contributed 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Warriors. "There've been many times when we came in here and lost by two or three, and other times when we lost by 20," Richardson said. "Anytime we can win on them, we'll take it." Dallas led by as many as 10 in the fourth quarter, but Richardson scored 16 in the final quarter and Davis added eight. With the game tied at 109, Davis nailed an open 21-footer from the left wing with less than a second left to give the Warriors their first lead of the fourth quarter.

"It's not gonna happen," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said before Friday's game against Seattle. Barkley, Kenny Smith and other national analysts have linked the Mavericks with the disgruntled Indiana Pacers forward, who has requested a trade. The experts have said Artest would be a piece who could put a select few teams on par with San Antonio and Detroit. "If I was the Suns, Mavericks or Heat, I would try to trade for Ron Artest," Barkley said Thursday during the Mavericks-Kings game on TNT. "[They are] the only three teams that have an outside chance of gaining on Detroit and San Antonio, so they might as well roll the dice. "If no one makes a trade, [Detroit and San Antonio] are the teams that will play for the championship." Kenny Smith, Barkley's co-host on TNT's wraparound show, agreed. "Those three teams [Phoenix, Dallas and Miami] can take a chance because they are already good, so he can never explode the situation, he can only enhance it," Smith said. Coach Avery Johnson only laughed when told of the commentators' thoughts. Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Stackhouse To Play In Seattle
"I hope I can just turn it on," Stackhouse said with a laugh Thursday night before the Mavericks’ game against the Sacramento Kings at Arco Arena. "Nah, I understand it’s a process getting back in the fold of what we’re doing. Being there and seeing it is still not the same as being on the floor." Out the first 26 games of the National Basketball Association season nursing a sore right knee hasn’t been easy for the Mavericks’ top scorer off the bench last season. The rehabilitation was frustrating at times, as swelling in the knee aborted a couple attempts to come back sooner. Stackhouse estimated the knee is about "90 percent" and has responded well to practice the last two weeks. The next hurdle is to build up to playing shape.

Baron Davis was Golden State's latest hero against Dallas, scoring a season-high 34 points, including the go-ahead basket with .5 seconds left, for a 111-109 victory on Friday night.
No matter what Charles Barkley and other announcers might think the Mavericks should do, the team is not in the Ron Artest sweepstakes. 
Jerry Stackhouse returns to the Dallas Mavericks lineup Friday night at Seattle ready to make a contribution, even it it’s a small one at first.
