Win Again? 

Winning the battle again… This is the fifth time in a row that Dallas has won against the other battling team, the Houston Rockets. Though the Mavericks star player Nowitzki was a bit battered up with some stiches and a hurt ankle from the last game, he still pulled through and came out on top like he always does. Ironically throughout most of the game the Dallas Mavericks lagged behind until big man Jason Terry came off the bench and hit up a three pointer which finally put Dallas in the lead late in the third quarter. After that it seemed like every one on the Mavs picked it up all of a sudden. Lamar Odom came out and looked good while hitting quite a few dunks and lay-ups. Apart from him Nowitzki was doing his usual fantastic work and putting in those fade-aways. With all of these finally kicking the bar up in the late third and into the fourth quarter, the mavericks were able to get their work together and came out with a win with nine points.

        When asked about their win, many said that the bench played a noteworthy part in the win because they came out strong getting minutes and using them well to make buckets. Many underestimate the Dallas Mavericks because they aren’t doing as well this year as they were last year. But the truth is that the Dallas Mavericks are a type of team that know how to get their game on even at the last moment, they obviously showed this in this game against the Rockets. Many are skeptical about how far the Mavericks will actually go when it comes to the playoffs because right now they are in the middle of the top eight bracket in the west. They still have a little bit of time left, so hopefully they get everything together and can come out on top for their fans once again.
