Mavs win in New Jersey

Dirk Nowitzki shot only 7 of 23 from the floor, but his last-second jumper rolled in to give the Mavericks an 87-86 win over the New Jersey Nets.  “Oh man. I couldn’t buy one,” said Nowitzki, who was playing in his fifth game after being sidelined for nine with a sprained right knee. “I don’t know what’s going on. I’m running in quicksand. I can’t make a move. I’ve got no legs. Even the last one really didn’t want to go in. It kind of rolled out there.”

Tyson Chandler had 19 points for the Mavs, Shawn Marion had 11 rebounds and Jason Kidd added 8 assists.

The Mavericks again had a poor shooting night, only making 34.7 percent from the field, however, Dallas made 27 of 29 free throws.

Dallas returns home to host the Clippers on Tuesday at the American Airlines Center.
