New Jersey Nets vs Dallas Mavericks Sopcast :
The Mavericks play their first game since the All-Star break Wednesday night, seeking a ninth straight home victory against the New Jersey Nets.
Dallas (31-21) lost four in a row from Jan. 9-14 but has since won nine of 13. While trying to improve to 3-0 on their current four-game homestand Thursday night, the Mavericks fell 99-92 to Eastern Conference-leading Boston in their final contest before the break.
Despite leading by as many as 15 points in the third quarter, Dallas struggled down the stretch and lost the lead with 5:37 remaining.
Eight-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki - the Mavericks' lone representative at Sunday's game - had a game-high 37 points, but it wasn't enough as Boston's Paul Pierce scored 18 of his 31 in the fourth quarter.
You could say we lost focus, you could say they got hot, which Paul (Pierce) did,'' said Josh Howard, who was limited to 17 points on 6-of-19 shooting before fouling out.
A home matchup with the Nets (24-30) has usually been enough to get the Mavericks back into the win column. After winning 11 straight against New Jersey, the teams have split the last six overall meetings with Dallas losing 121-97 at New Jersey on Dec. 19.
