March 3rd, 2012: Dirk's 40 Points End Mavs Losing Streak

After it was thought that Lamar Odom was supposed to be playing for the Texas Legends last night, the Mavericks decided to bring Odom back up for last night's victory over the Utah Jazz 102 to 96. This win for the Mavericks will end their 4 game losing streak they had coming into this game. The first three quarters seemed to be all Mavs, but the Utah Jazz picked it up in the fourth quarter of this game to score 41 points. Luckily, the Mavericks were able to hold the Jazz to not picking up the victory. One of those reasons being Dirk Nowitzki's 40 point game. He definitely played a big role in this game. Oddly though the Mavericks are (0-5) without Lamar Odom playing. That makes me wonder if that is the only reason the Mavericks decided to bring him back up with the team. Lamar Odom had 9 points in his 18 minutes on the court. This win for the Mavericks is the first 100 point game since February 15th against the Denver Nuggets where they won that game 102 to 84. The Mavericks will play the Oklahoma City Thunder tomorrow night, which will probably be a good game to watch. It will be at Oklahoma starting at 7:00 central time.
