Thanks Dirk! Mavs beat Celtics 90-85

Dirk's lay up with 5 seconds left in the game shows that when the game is on the line you gotta give the ball to Dirk Nowitzki. This is an impressive road win for the Mavericks after playing a night before not already fully rested. The points leader for the Mavs in this game was Jason Terry who had 18 points on the night. Brenden Haywood almost had a double double performance with 11 rebounds, but only had 8 points on the night. The offense might have not looked as flashy as they were in Detroit, but they were obviously not at 100 percent physically being tired and Jason Kidd still out of the lineup. The win might not have been a pretty one, but they get to have a day off today knowing that they are now 1 win over .500 after starting the season off with 0 wins and 3 straight losses. The Mavericks come home Friday when they take on the Milwaukee Bucks. They will then play the Sacramento Kings the next night.
