Mavs @ Kings: Christmas Day(LIVE) Go here for Dee's complete preview. Is anyone watching this game? The Kings are dominating every aspect of this game. The Mavs are embarrassing themselves on Defense; absolutely no effort. The Kings are getting the ball and getting the break started after every rebound and the Mavs are just walking down the court. Dirk is playing 0 D on Miller.

The Mavericks appeared headed for a season-high fifth straight loss as they played an awful first half. The Kings were able to run all over them, using a barrage of three-pointers and athletic plays to take a 60-44 lead at intermission. But Dallas began defending better and started cutting into the lead minutes into the second half. Nowitzki had 19 points after three quarters as the Kings took an 84-78 lead into the final period. The Mavericks grabbed the lead, 88-86, on a three-pointer by Antoine Walker with 7:21 to play. After the teams traded baskets over the next six minutes, Walker gave Dallas the lead for good with a three-pointer from the top of the key that made it 106-103 with 64 seconds remaining. Dallas has just four road wins this season, but it has beaten the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs and the Kings in their buildings. </div> Recap box score
I can't believe the Kings lost this game, that basically had a lock on at half time, but there are no locks in the NBA at half time, considerin what happened to the Celtics and Suns. Kings let it slip in the second half, they should have won the game but Mavs outplayed them. Kings didn't need as if they needed Peja's spark in the first half, but after that, Peja was needed to get the win. PS Gerald Wallace's aired FT was amazing lol
I can't believe it either. I was watching for the first half and left to watch Return of the King. Boith Christmas games(woulda watched the lakers) were amziing and exciting. All i can say is im hella shocked..and that Peja would have locked it for the kings..when Webbers back...(and he should be able to practice soon, with doctors permission) THey are definitely a team wo be looked out for(as if they aren't already).
