DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks got another easy win over an overmatched Eastern Conference opponent Wednesday night, defeating the Charlotte Bobcats 118-93 at the AAC. Just like their last big win over the Knicks, the Mavericks shot well over 50% from the field (.538), while again limiting their opponent to under 50% shooting. The Mavs also went 10-of-24 on three point shots, effectively crushing any potential Bobcat rallies before they started.
Dirk Nowitzki led all scorers with 26 points, shooting an efficient 8-of-14 alongside 9 rebounds and 3 steals. Josh Howard rebounded from a mini-slump last week, collecting 24 points, 7 boards and 6 assists.
Newcomer Jason Kidd had a decent game, scoring 6 points to go with 6 rebounds and 8 assists. Center Eric Dampier played with uncharacteristic physicality, puting up 11 points, 8 rebounds and five blocked shots.
The win improved the Mavs to 42-23, still just good enough for fourth place in the Southwest Division.
