Mavs 83 Wolves 79 Grades: Mavs Come From Behind The Mavs come from behind courtesy a 14-3 run to beat the Timberwolves in a playoff atmosphere battle. Another really ugly game with the Mavs winning despite shooting only 35% from the field, nevertheless, a win is a win. Laura Green : A+; Laura provided incredible insight from the sidelines providing interesting tidbits and was a quick relay to Avery?s thoughts out of timeouts. +30 Johnson: B, Another tough performance by the Mavs to get back into this game at the end. Good playoff style experience for Coach. Howard: B: Just another double-double for Josh with 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-7 FT) and 10 rebounds. Josh also pitched in 2 steals and a blocked shot. +16 Nowitzki: B+, Dirk had a poor first half, but finally got it going in the fourth period as the Mavs rode his shooting to come back in this game. Dirk led the Mavs with 26 points (8-24 FG, 2-4 treys, 8-9 FT) along with 7 rebounds, 2 blocked shots, 2 assists and a steal. Zero turnovers. +21 Dampier: B, Another solid night with Erick grabbing 10 rebounds, including 7 on the offensive end. +10 Griffin: B; Adrian again starts for the injured Marquis again. Griffin pitched in 8 points (4-6 FG) and 5 rebounds. Zero turnovers. +12 Terry: B-, Jason kicks in 11 points (4-15 FG, 2-6 treys, 1-2 FT) along with a Mavs leading 4 assists. Jason is probably hoping the Mavs don?t have to face the Wolves in the playoffs as Terry continues to struggle against Jaric. +7 Stackhouse: C, Jerry pitches in 8 points (4-13 FG, 0-2 treys) and grabs 4 rebounds but leads the Mavs with 4 turnovers. +4 Diop: C, DeSagana struggled tonight, grabbing only 3 rebounds, matching his number of turnovers. +3 Harris: C; Devin doesn?t seem quite back to normal, but he still pitched in 8 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 trey, 0-2 FT). +4 Van Horn: C, Keith is still looking for his shot with his only make tonight a trey (1-4 FG, 1-2 treys, 0-0 FT) to go with 4 rebounds. Zero turnovers. +4 M?Benga: C, DJ got less than a minute and did not box. +0 Armstrong : DNP-CD. Powell: DNP-CD. Daniels: DNP-CD, Marquis is out yet again with neck swelling from the Kurt Thomas clothes line hit. Marshall : Rawle has been sent to the Fort Worth Flyers (NBDL) to get playing time.

decent, but the offense has went down the drain. we have been shooting in the .30's alot...not good. defense has been keeping us in the games.
