Posted in Wednesday’s matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks was not, believe it or not, a game that one would expect from both squads. Both teams already had playoff berths secured, so the Spurs opted to rest Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili for their season finale. Perhaps the Spurs wished they had played them [...]

Nowitzki, Kidd Help Mavericks Outlast Hawks In OT 111-103
Friday night’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena was rather competitive, from start to finish. But perhaps the turning point of the contest was late in the fourth quarter. Jason Kidd was dribbling down the left sideline with 1:37 left in the fourth quarter when Hawks coach Mike Woodson took [...]
Kidd’s 4th Quarter Offense Helps Mavericks Hold Off Undermanned Heat 97-91
The renovated Dallas Mavericks, with newly acquired Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood, looked to have upgraded. The Miami Heat, on the other hand, did nothing, trade-wise. While it is too early to figure out if the trade by Dallas has paid dividends, they had a game to play Saturday night as they hosted the [...]

Jason Terry scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, leading Dallas [...]
Nowitzki’s Buzzer-Beater In OT Helps Mavericks Edge Bucks 115-113
Monday night’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and the surprising Milwaukee Bucks was close through and through, so much so that it went an extra period. But it took a desperation basket by Dirk Nowitzki in overtime that hit the front of the rim, bounced off the backboard then went in, which allowed Dallas to [...]
Nuggets Go To Western Conference Finals, Smash Mavericks 124-110
I am truly convinced that Chauncey Billups is probably the main reason that the Denver Nuggets have gotten to this juncture of the postseason; that is not a knock on Carmelo Anthony as he has stepped up in a big way. But Billups provides that X factor as the Nuggets have pretty much made short [...]
Nowitzki’s 44 Help Mavericks Stay Alive, Edge Nuggets 119-117
The Dallas Mavericks, down 3-0 prior to their game Monday night against the Denver Nuggets, had to dig deep into themselves and find a way to keep themselves alive to extend their series. In the Mavericks’ case, they relied on the ole’ standby, Dirk Nowitzki; and to be certain, he did not disappoint as he [...]
