Erick Dampier only had 6 points and 5 rebounds in his return to face his old foes, the Golden State Warriors, but his new team, the Dallas Mavericks, were victorious by the score of 114-107.

``I wanted to have a good performance, but all the guys played hard,'' Dampier said. ``We'll just have to see how it feels tomorrow. If I can't go again, I'll just rest it (during the All-Star break).''

Dirk Nowitzki again had a dominant game, scoring 35 points and 11 rebounds.

The dismal Warriors were led by Jason Richardson's 26 points.
