San Antonio, TX - Dallas Mavericks beat the San Antonio Spurs 112-103, on their turf. In the second quarter, Drew Gooden, injured his finger while defending Spurs guard, Ginobili. On a play defending Ginobili, Gooden, the tough defender that he is dislocated his left right ring finger. He and Mavs head trainer Casey Smith ran off the court to try to put the finger back in place while yelling for the doctor. Later Gooden would return to the game with his finger taped, he wouldn't play for the remaining of the game.
Erick Dampier hit a 3-pointer with seconds left in the 4th quarter to seal the defeat....well, the defeat was eminent, Damp added the icing on the cake. Damp haven't hit a 3 pointer since his rookie year with Indiana. How long has he been in the league:)?. After the game Damp had the to say: " Going down the stretch Jet saw I was open, I shot it". Laughing he says, "a shooter know when it's good".
This is the Mavs 13th win on the road in San Antonio tonight. Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki lead the way. Drew Gooden is a soldier! He played hard in the first half suffering a dislocated right finger while defending Spurs Genobili on a defensive stop play, he had to the leave the game in the 2nd quarter. Gooden returned with tape finger, continued play.
Jason "JT" Terry had an explosive game in the fourth quarter knocking down key shots. He and Dirk paired together down the stretch, not forgetting Jason Kidd are the best under pressure. Tim Thomas and rookie guard Roddy Beaubois played some minutes and change the energy of the game. Hope coach insert Chris umphries in the game gien hin an opportunity to play some minutes while this team is healthy and to get in on some of this NBA action going down the stretch of the season. Dallas has one of the better scoring benches in the league.
