The Sixers return to Wachovia Center to host a Mavericks squad
fresh off a convincing win over the defending champion San
Antonio Spurs on Saturday.

12 rebounds as Dallas routed San Antonio, 103-84.
Reserve guard Devin Harris connected on all eight shots from the
floor and scored 20 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter for
the Mavericks, who shot over 50 percent.
Nowitzki scored five points late in the third quarter and Harris
took over from there, scoring 12 points in a critical 23-3 run
that spanned the third and fourth quarters.
