The Mavericks fall short this evening at home against the New Jersey Nets by the score of 93 to 92. Mavericks at one point though trailed by as much as 8 points. Jason Kidd's only points of the night was Kidd's 26 foot jumper that came with 48 seconds left in the 4th quarter. The Mavs looked like they had to just scratch and claw to keep themselves in this one. Mavericks had an opportunity with 17 seconds left in the game after Dallas called a timeout to give themselves an opportunity to take the lead. Kidd was the only one to have a shot attempt, and it didn't go in. Though Haywood and Nowitzki had double-double performances, they were outshined by Nets' center Brook Lopez who had 38 points in this game. Avery Johnson had to be satisfied with his Nets squad tonight. The Mavericks next game will actually be tomorrow in Memphis against the Grizzlies at 7:00. Of course no Lamar Odom will be present at least through Wednesday, and I am okay with that. Odom's underachieving is just annoying!
