Mavs Beat Jazz 116-101

{fshare id=2153}

The Dallas Mavericks needed a team effort to defeat the Utah Jazz 116-101 Friday night at the American Airlines Center.  Playing their 4th straight game without Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks had 6 players scoring in double figures.  The feat is even more impressive considering Jason Kidd left the game barely 2 minutes into the contest with a strained calf.

Rodrigue Beaubois led the Mavericks with a season-high 22 points.  Lamar Odem stepped up to add 19, also a season-high.  Jason Terry came off the bench to score 18.

Shawn Marion scored 16, Vince Carter and Brenden Haywood each added 12.  Haywood posted his 1st double-double of  the season by adding 12 rebounds.

The Mavs used the long ball, hitting 11 from 3-point range, a season-high.  Odem was 3 of 4 from long range.

Dallas stays home to host the Spurs on Sunday.
