Darren Collison may not be back for a second year in Dallas after twice losing the starting job at point guard on a team that couldn't extend a 12-season playoff streak. He at least left owner Mark Cuban and coach Rick Carlisle with something to ponder. Collison scored 25 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 16 and the Mavericks finished their worst season in 13 years with a 99-87 victory in New Orleans' final game as the Hornets on Wednesday night.
