4 and 2!!! Who would have thunk it.

Game notes:
The Mavs won their 4th game of the season on February 2nd last year and
won their 2nd home game on February 8th.
Tarpley looked good in his first regular season outing.
It was the first game that Popeye did not get double figures in rebounds.
Tony Dumas did not play due to a sprained ankle he suffered in practice.
Dallas lead 56-55 at the half.
Sacramento owned the 3rd quarter and Dallas could do nothing.
Sacramento out-scored Dallas 28-17 and Dallas only shot 6-18 FG in the
3rd.  It was 83-73 after 3.
Jason Kidd sat out most, if not all, of the 4th quarter.  Kidd was 
struggling and Motta decided to go with Lucious Harris, who was 
performing well.
Sacramento's largest lead was 12 points and they were ahead by 11
points several times in the 4th. 
They were leading 90-81 with 6:35 left.
Dallas, on the back of Tarpley and Mashburn, made a strong rally and
came back to steal the game.
Harris only made two baskets, but both of them were keys to the win.
His 3-pointer ignited the 4th quarter rally and his 10-footer in the
lane right after being blocked with only 59 seconds left was the game
winner.
Sacramento only shot 4-14 FG and scores 11 points in the 4th.
