Play of the Game
Devin Harris' three-point play with 24 seconds left that broke a 98-98 tie.
Stat of the Game
Mavs start the game with a 40-10 lead and finish on an 11-0 run.
Additional Notes
Jose Calderon scored 19 points in the first half but went scoreless in the second half.
The 10 points the Mavs allowed the first quarter were the fewest they have allowed in any quarter this year. They had allowed 11 points in the third quarter in Wednesday's game in Denver.
If they had lost the Mavericks would have tied the team record for largest lead blown in a game. They also blew a 30 point lead on Dec. 6, 2002 in a loss against the Lakers.
Quote of Note
“We actually ran a play – it’s called: get out of the way,”
Dirk on Devin's game-winning three-point play.
Next Up
The Mavericks (37-26) stay at home to face the suddenly struggling Indiana Pacers (46-16), Sunday at 6:30.
