OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) _ Cedric Ceballos scored 29 points and Michael Finley had 21 as the Dallas Mavericks, after blowing nearly all of an 18-point first-quarter lead, recovered to beat the Golden State Warriors 109-102 Tuesday night.

Dirk Nowitzki added 17 points, Hubert Davis 14 and Shawn Bradley 13 for the Mavericks, who beat Golden State for the third time in three meetings this season.

It was the 10th straight loss for the Warriors and their second double-digit skid of the season. They lost 11 in a row from Nov. 17 to Dec. 8.

Warriors coach Garry St. Jean remained winless in seven games since taking over Dec. 27 for the fired P.J. Carlesimo.

Antawn Jamison led Golden State with a career-high 28 points. Donyell Marshall added 21 points and Vonteego Cummings had 14.

The Warriors got within a point of the lead three times in the third quarter, the last on a driving layup by Jamison. But Bradley then converted a three-point play and Ceballos drained a 3-pointer around a putback by Jamison as the Mavericks headed into the final period leading 81-75.

An 8-2 burst that included a three-point play by Nowitzki and a 3-pointer by Davis extended Dallas' lead to 93-81 with 7:17 remaining.

Golden State managed to pull within six points four times in the late going but Ceballos twice responded by hitting long jumpers and Nowitzki and Michael Finley each made a pair of free throws.

The game initially had the look of a blowout with cold-shooting Golden State outscored 34-16 in the first quarter. During a 13-4 Dallas run over the final 4:06 of the period both Ceballos and Finley rebounded air balls by teammates for follow slams and Nowitzki threw down a dunk at the end of a fastbreak and added a free throw after being fouled.

Golden State got back in the game by scoring nine of the first 11 points of the second quarter, beginning with a dunk by Jason Caffey. The Warriors steadily pulled closer, pulling to 53-48 on Cummings' 13-foot baseline jumper as time expired in the first half.
