Nowitzki’s Winning Basket Helps Mavericks End Celtics’ 5-Game Winning Streak 89-87

The Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics got together for a throwdown Monday night at American Airlines Center. If you were looking for offensive fireworks, then this wasn’t the game for you. If anything, this matchup provided what I like to call “molasses-ball.” By that analogy, I mean the game was very half-court in nature. Transition [...]

No specific reason [...]
