OAKLAND, Calif. Dallas Mavericks Gear . -- The Golden State Warriors showed their vulnerability when they dropped a 132-127 double-overtime thriller to the Houston Rockets on Thursday night.Unfortunately for Saturdays opponent, the Phoenix Suns, now the Warriors get another opportunity to demonstrate their invincibility.Golden State will put its NBA-record streak of not having lost consecutive regular-season games (105) on the line Saturday when they face the Suns for the third time this season.The Warriors have lost only three times this season. The first two times, they rebounded with 122-114 and 116-106 victories, both over the New Orleans Pelicans.The last time Golden State had a two-game losing streak was April 5-7, 2015. Theyve played the Suns six times since then, and won all six.But the most recent win didnt come easy.In fact, the Suns led 111-106 in the fourth quarter in Oakland before Klay Thompson buried a pair of 3-pointers and three free throws during a 27-9 finish that produced a 133-120 victory.That was Golden States fourth straight win after its Nov. 4 loss to the Los Angeles. The Warriors extended that winning streak to 12 games before Thursdays nail-biter.The Nov. 13 win over Phoenix also extended the Warriors streak of regular-season games without consecutive losses to 96, breaking the record of 95 that was set by the Utah Jazz bridging the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons.Its really a remarkable achievement, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said at the time. Everybody is going to lose games in this league. How you respond to those losses says a lot about your team.The Suns responded well to a two-game home losing streak with an impressive 109-107 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday.Phoenix once again demonstrated an improved defense in the win. Once statistically the worst defense in the league, the Suns allowed 107 or fewer points for the fifth time in their last seven games, a stretch during which their league ranking has improved two spots.If the Suns are concerned about an aspect of their game now, its ball distribution. Phoenix actually had more turnovers (17) than assists (15) in the Atlanta win.Now theyre up against arguably the best passing team in the NBA.

In fact, theyve failed to accumulate even 20 assists in 12 of their 19 games.We have to play more team basketball, Suns veteran Jared Dudley expressed to reporters at practice Friday. We have to average 18 to 20 assists to give us a chance, because right now were not a great shooting team.The Warriors have held 27-19 and 32-27 assist advantages over the Suns in the two earlier meetings this season.

Custom Dallas Mavericks Jerseys .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. https:///...ersey-mavericks.html . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year. Jimmy Bartel provided the perfect ending to a big night for Geelong when he wheeled onto his left foot and slotted the last goal of a hard-fought win over the Western Bulldogs in his 300th AFL game.Bartel was mobbed by every single one of his teammates after his goal with five seconds left put the cherry on top of a momentous evening at Simonds Stadium that also saw Corey Enright overtake Ian Nankervis to become the clubs all-time games record holder.The only problem was that I kicked it in front of our construction site so there was no one there, Bartel said with a wry smile after the match.But I burnt the leading full-forward and luckily it went through. All of my teammates got around me, which was a pretty special experience.I didnt move too far from the forward 50 for the last minute or two ... I might get in a bit of trouble for that on Monday. But it seems the triple-premiership star has nothing to fear from coach Chris Scott during Mondays review.Theres still some romance in footy ... we were pretty keen to get him on there towards the end because it looked like he might have been stuck on the bench, Scott said. Dallas Mavericks Store. It was probably classic Jimmy ... in the (slippery) conditions, from where he was on the ground and on the left he didnt really expect it to go through.But youve got to start expecting that with Jimmy ... 300 games in and he keeps surprising. Bartel and Enright were both influential in their milestone matches.There was obvious jubilation for the pair of unassuming champions, which Enright admitted was mixed with a just hint of relief after a big build-up during the week.(Its) a little bit (of a relief) but youve got to enjoy these weeks because they dont come around very often, Enright said after his 326th AFL game.To have it with Jimmy ... it was a nice touch to share it with him.Its really hard to get too caught up (in the milestone) because theres still a job to be done.But in a couple of months time Ill sit back and reflect a bit.
