OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) _ Mookie Blaylock scored 25 points, including nine in the fourth quarter, as the Golden State Warriors rallied to beat the Vancouver Grizzlies 101-95 Wednesday night.

Antawn Jamison added 21 points and John Starks, playing for the second time since missing 10 games with a knee injury, added 17 for the Warriors, who matched a season-high by winning their third straight. Golden State has won five of seven since snapping a 12-game losing streak.

Shareef Abdur-Rahim had 25 points to lead Vancouver. Michael Dickerson added 19 points, Mike Bibby had 13 and Bryant Reeves 10, all in the second half.

Blaylock also matched a season-high with 10 assists, including a feed that led to a layup by Jamison with 32 seconds remaining for a 96-93 Warriors' lead.

Golden State was ahead most of the game but began the fourth quarter with a four-point deficit.

Three straight 3-pointers by Donyell Marshall, Starks and Blaylock offset a 3-pointer by Dennis Scott and a layup by Reeves as Golden State moved into an 85-all tie with 6:02 remaining.

Vancouver moved back in front when Scott hit another 3-pointer but Blaylock answered by draining his fourth 3-pointer of the night to put the Warriors up 92-91 with 1:58 left.

Golden State didn't trail again, though Abdur-Rahim's layup with 27 seconds narrowed the gap to a point. But Starks, Blaylock and Marshall combined to make five of six free throws down the stretch to secure the win.

Trailing by six at the half, the Grizzlies used a third-quarter surge to take their first lead of the game. Abdur-Rahim fueled the rally, scoring 12 of his points in the period.

After Jason Caffey's putback put Golden State up 67-64 with 3:31 left in the third, Dickerson dunked off an alley-oop from Abdur-Rahim despite being fouled.

Dickerson made the free throw to complete the three-point play and start a 10-0 run that carried the Grizzlies to a 74-67 lead. Abdur-Rahim had a pair of free throws and a driving layup before Dickerson capped the flurry with another three-point play as Vancouver led 76-72 after three quarters.

Jamison scored 15 of his points in the first half, helping Golden State take 51-45 lead.

Bibby converted a three-point play that pulled the Grizzlies within three but Blaylock came back to hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds of the second quarter.

Notes: Dickerson has scored in double figures in 28 straight games. ... Abdur-Rahim has 23 double-doubles this season. ... Warriors assistant coach Brian Winters was the inaugural head coach of the Grizzlies, coaching the team from 1995 through the first half of the 1996-97 season. ... Six of Golden State's 11 wins have come at home. ... Golden State center Erick Dampier went 0-for-1 with a rebound in seven minutes of play in his first action since Jan. 6. Dampier has still missed 40 of the team's 43 games after undergoing left knee surgery in mid-September. ... Starks has 37 points in the two games since his return.
