Dallas came out on top in an exciting game against Golden State. "I'm sure it was a dream game for the fans, with the result in the balance down to the end," said Dallas coach Bob. "But these sorts of games give me gray hair."

Bob and his counterpart, Golden State coach Perez Suarez, brought out the best in their teams. "Not a lot of mistakes from either side," said Perez Suarez. "That's what I like to see.
