For the first time in Mavs history have they won 7 straight games in a row.. Mavs hosted the New Orleans Hornets tonight at the American Airlines Center. Hornets guard Chris Paul did not play coaches decision.
During tonight's game, Jason Kidd moved into fourth all time leader in steals list. He finished the game with 13 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Dirk Nowitzki scored a game-high 36 points, his 15th 30-point game of the season. Dirk always get his points.. The only Maverick to score in double digits each game.
Caron Butler, returned to the starting line-up after he missed two games with a reaction from a medicine. Mo specifics given...nor did I pressed for an answer. He finished with 19 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assists and 4 steals...
Dallas has won 7 straight games for the longest winning streak with 5 straight at home. After the game, I spoke with coach Carlisle regarding 7 wins in a row thisis what coach had to say:"It's good. We played a great first half. Third, quarter, got shaky with turnovers but we hung on. It's a good win against a good team". On Caron Butler, "Thought he looked good. Made the big defensive play and I thought what I really like is he's playing both ends of the floor. Offensively, he's real consistent and gets good looks. Our guys are getting a good feel as to where and when to deliver the ball. Defensively, he battles and stays and stays within the system. When he's in a position to make a play, he does. Like he did on that last play where he goes down and Haywood follows it in. Good to see him back out there. It really helps our rotation."
