For the second straight night the Dallas Mavericks lose the game by double digits. Tonight though, the Mavericks were never completely out of the game. The Mavs never led, but had tied up the score 47 to 47 and 49 to 49 in the middle of the third quarter. The team looked a lot better tonight then they did against the Heat. There were points in the game were it seemed as if the Mavericks were going to get in too deep of a hole, but they were battling to the best of their abilities. With the current shape this team is in with not very much depth; you really can't ask for more. The Mavericks main struggle tonight was the lack of defensive rebounds in the 4th quarter when there was less than 5:00 left in the game. Memphis SG Rudy Gay was on fire tonight with 26 points. PF Zach Randolf had a double double tonight with 17 points, and 18 rebounds. With a win tonight, the Grizzlies will take their record to 18 wins and 6 losses. It will take a miracle for the Mavericks to just get one victory on this road trip! Sunday they will play the Spurs, then the Thunder on Thursday. There is a good chance that Dirk will make his return against the Thunder Thursday night. I hope Dirk can make a Peyton Manning like return back to the court.
