So much for that five game win streak. The Mavericks take advantage of four teams with losing records in that win streak, but another losing team destroys them Tuesday night. Charlotte hitting nearly 55 percent of their shots in a 114-89 thrashing of Dallas. Dirk Nowitzki and Monta Ellis each score 16 points while no one else goes for double figures.
Dirk limited to just 24 minutes because of a sprained left ankle in the second quarter, but he's still planning to play tonight when the Mavs visit the east leading Pacers at 6 PM.
