I believe the bad offense was a result of the good defense. They only had one point guard that night. The same point guard who had to chase Jason Terry and Devin Harris around. The same point guard who did most of their scoring in the first half. The same point guard who had to fight through the defense just to get the ball.
The point is the defense wore down that Golden State team. I'm not saying that the defense was perfect. I'm just saying that solid defense was played by Dallas for 2/3rds of that game.
You're right it might not have been enough to beat an elite team, but overall the defensive effort was not bad.
