The Mavericks came into this game needing a win after getting embarassed against the Spurs last week, and a win is what they got. I always like seeing when Vince Carter has plays where he looks like his old self when he played for the Toronto Raptors. His dunk on Emeka Okafor showed flashes of the days where he was known as "half man half amazing." Though Carter isn't as good as he once was Carter is still pretty darn good. Carter filled in for the injured Jason Kidd and scored 13 points with 3 rebounds with 26 minutes of playing time. Dirk played better in this game then he did against the Spurs, but still only had 10 points shooting only 2 for 11 in his field goal attempts. His other points came off of going 6 for 6 on the free throw line. While it is an improvement from 6 points against the Spurs the other night, it is still not the Dirk we are accustomed to seeing. Another top performing coming off the bench was Ian Mahinmi who had 13 points with 7 rebounds who has been a pretty consistent bench player for the Mavericks lately. The Mavericks next game will be in on Tuesday in Detroit taking on the Pistons who have a record of 2 wins and 6 losses, but on any given day an NBA team can be upset and loss. Tip off is scheduled for 6:30 central time.
