The Dallas Mavericks' 30-0 run Saturday night was good enough for NBA history, just not for a victory.
The Mavericks' run in the fourth quarter against Oklahoma City was the longest without allowing a basket in the play-by-play era, which dates to 1996-97.
The run lasted from 11:09 remaining in the game until 4:18, carrying Dallas from a 111-87 deficit into a 117-111 lead. But the Thunder regained control and won 126-120.
The NBA said the previous record was a 29-0 run by Cleveland against Milwaukee on Dec. 6, 2009.
