What a close game in Dallas but Denvers Earl Boykins came up short at the buzzer, while the Mavericks won their fifth straght. Josh Howard and Marcus Camby had to leave due to injury good game over all http://www.nba.com/games/20050123/DENDAL/recap.html http://www.nba.com/games/20050123/DENDAL/boxscore.html
What the hell was up with dirks freethrows? But he definitely made up for it with the nine points down the stretch, and that wonderful drive. Josh please get better we need you. And Finley is off.

But superstars do not live by perimeter shots alone, which is why Avery Johnson took Nowitzki aside before the season to tell him that the best things in life are free. "I told him he's our best player and he has to milk the free-throw line," Johnson said Sunday. Nowitzki has learned the value of the drive, vividly exhibited when he took Denver's Fransisco down the lane, eased a layup through the net and converted a three-point play with 17.9 seconds left. The basket put the Mavericks up by a point and they held on for a 95-93 victory over the Nuggets at American Airlines Center.</div> The Dallas Morning News Nice to see Dirk step it up at the very end of the game after missing those 5 free throws. Finley had a horrible game. Damp was putting in his effort at the beginning at the game. I think we are doing pretty good considering all the untimely injuries we have had and also considering these past few games and the time frame we played them in. We have matched our season high win streak again. Let's see if we can keep it going against the Clips in L.A.
