A dreadful defensive night for the Mavericks drops them down to 8th place in the western conference. Dallas giving up 37 first quarter points and trailing by 22 in the second. The Mavs do rally back to force overtime, only to lose 123-122 to the Timberwolves.
Dirk Nowitzki leads the Mavs with 27 points but needs 27 shots to get there. Minnesota led by 35 points from Kevin Love and the first career triple double from Ricky Rubio with 22 points, 15 assists, and 10 rebounds.
The Mavericks are per-centage points behind the Grizzlies and sitting in eighth, a game-and-a-half up on the Suns. Dallas hosting the Nuggets tomorrow night.
