NBA schedule: Warriors shock the Heat, Celtics outlast Mavs in double-OT

“I wish we could keep playing until we win,” O.J. Mayo said.

The Celtics were understandably relieved after surviving. They have now won three games in a row and are continuing to show signs of recapturing their once fearsome defensive form. Yet the Mavs were oddly encouraged, as well.

The win extends Utah’s winning streak to four while San Antonio’s winning streak was snapped at five games.

Boston, which snapped Dallas’ three-game winning streak, will next play at Houston on Dec. 14. The Mavericks will head to Toronto for a game that same night.

Here’s video of the play, via CBS Sports.

The game was a back-and-forth affair that was within a basket either way down to the buzzer. Golden State was led by Klay Thompson, who scored 27 points on 11-of-21 shooting to go along with seven rebounds and four assists. David Lee chipped in with 22 points and 13 rebounds while Jack put up 20 points, four boards and four dimes off the bench.

That was just about the best defense that anyone played on the night against the Nets, who defeated Toronto, 94-88. Humphries put up just 11 points and two rebounds, as the Nets were carried by Joe Johnson, C.J. Watson and the resurgent Andray Blatche.

The Nets shot just 45 percent from the field, which paled in comparison to Toronto’s 49 percent shooting, but Brooklyn hit 10-19 of threes, which was enough to push them to the win. That said, an NBA ref trying to punk Humphries for some unknown reason was the highlight of an altogether forgettable game.

In his second game back from injury, Davis has just two points, one rebound and one steal in 11 minutes of playing time.
