Mavericks Win it Close 83-81

With Dirk Nowitzki out for four games due to a right sore knee, can the Mavericks win without him, or Vince Carter? Well the answer is yes if they are playing the Hornets. Delonte West was playing really well in this game and looked pretty consistent in this game getting 5 rebounds and 16 points. Shawn Marion was even better getting a double double in this game with 12 rebounds and 14 points. We even saw Marion get a 3 pointer in the first half which is rare with Marion. This game came down to the wire, and the defense made the stop it needed with a little over 1 second left Jarret Jack missed the 2nd free throw intentionally to try and sink a bucket for a tie to go into overtime. This win against the Hornets is actually the first win the Mavericks have won in New Orleans in 5 whole years! The Mavericks have tonight off and will play the Phoenix Suns tomorrow at home with tip off scheduled for 7:30.
