Utah Jazz beat the Dallas Mavericks ...bad

By K. King

Dallas, Tx - The Mavericks had a cold shooting night...not only was it in the 17 degrees outside the American Airlines Center (AAC) so was it inside. the Mavericks struggle the entire game. The game tied at 18 points in the first quarter, The Jazz went on a 8-0 run for the rest of the period taking a 8 point lead into the 2nd qurter. I asked coach Carlise about offensive boards giving Mavs an opportunity for second chance points. Coach had this to say, "We had 14 tonight, we just didn't play well".

In tonight's game, Mavs center, Erick Dampier had 6 offensive rebounds and 7 rebounds for the Mavs. Damp has been performing well this season. Again, I once compare him to former Mavs center James Donaldson...all height and no hands. Damp needs to learn to dunk the ball each time he gets it especially under the basket. Makes no sense when he wants to lay it up and miss it. A wimp move. Dunk it!!!!

You can count of Dirk to get his points each game. This dude is a natural born scorer. Nowitzki scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 10 for 10 in free throw attempts in tonight's game.

Josh Howard (left quadriceps) and Drew Gooden (left ring finger) were both out due to injuries.
