The Defense Wins it For Mavs


Coming off of a sinus infection, Dirk carried the team to their 11th straight victory, 112-88 over the Seattle. This is the first time the team has had two double digit win streaks in one season in the team's history. Dirk added 31 points and a season high 15 points to the teams all-around victorious win.

Josh Howard was cooking again as he is making a strong bid to play in Vegas. Josh Howard won western conference player of the week for the second straight week, which is a first time for any player in the Maverick's franchise. Another fanastic game for the Wake Forest alumni, 21 points and nine rebounds, yeah that the regular for J-How.

Dallas held a 58-30 rebounding edge, 21-8 on the offensive boards, and scored 34 second-chance points to nine for Seattle. These stats should sum up the game as it was easy the whole night.

During this 11 game win streak, the Mavericks have held all opponents under 100 points as it is showing that the team is buying into Avery Johnson’s: defense first strategy.
