OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson watched his vision for the future play out in front of him Friday night at Oracle Arena. The results had to be encouraging, beyond the 119-110 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

He said he wanted his backcourt going into next season to be Monta Ellis and Stephen Jackson. Both played 44 minutes Friday, combining for 60 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists.

"That's a great tandem in the backcourt," guard Anthony Morrow said. "Jack is a mentor to Monta. It's like a big brother-little brother relationship. Him and Jack play well together. They know what each other's doing out there on the court."

Nelson said he wanted Brandan Wright and Anthony Randolph to share the power forward position. They totaled 26 points on 10-for-17 shooting with 12 rebounds.

"With both of them play at that level, we are a good, fast team," Jackson said. "It's good to see those guys playing together and complementing each other."

Nelson has maintained he likes center Ronny Turiaf backing up center Andris Biedrins. Friday, Turiaf managed 12 rebounds and five blocks in 26 minutes as Biedrins went down with a sprained left ankle in the first quarter. He was a big reason the Warriors' dominated the points in the paint (52-36) and outrebounded the Mavericks by nine boards.

The Warriors controlled the entire second half though three Mavericks had big numbers. Forward Dirk Nowitzki had 27 points and nine rebounds. Point guard Jason Kidd notched his 102nd career triple-double (21 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds) and guard Jason Terry had 20 points off the bench.

Still, Dallas current owners of the eighth and final seed in the Western Conference playoffs — was outshined by the Warriors' future.

Though he's said he wanted to go big, Nelson spent a lot of time playing small ball. But in their time, Wright and Randolph made a noticeable impact on the game. Wright had 12 points and five rebounds in 16 minutes, giving the Warriors an immediate inside presence on offense.

"We are both long and athletic," Randolph said. "So you can always keep a long and athletic player on the floor at all times, and that's a good thing. When we are at full force, there's no telling what we can do next season."

Randolph had 14 points and seven rebounds before fouling out after 20 minutes of action. He was a usual spark off the bench with his energy and defensive hustle. His eight points and three rebounds in the final four minutes of the half powered a run that turned a one-point Warriors' deficit into a 60-54 halftime lead.

Oracle Arena erupted when he followed Ellis' missed fast break lay-up with a two-handed dunk, drawing a foul in the process. Randolph — who about a minute early was posterized by Terry, who dunked over Randolph with two hands — celebrated his improbably follow dunk by punching the air while on his back under the basket.

The Mavericks, who trailed by as much as 15, pulled to within 77-74 at the 4:17 mark of the third quarter. But a driving dunk by Ellis started a 12-4 Golden State run to close the quarter. Jackson who finished with 31 points, eight assists and seven rebounds —closed out the game with nine fourth-quarter points, making sure the Warriors' didn't let victory slip away.

"If we can continue to play like this," Jackson said, "it's definitely something good to look forward to."
