Mavericks-Lakers Preview

Kobe Bryant's typical excellence, along with an impressive supporting effort from Andrew Bynum, ensured the Los Angeles Lakers that their championship ring ceremony wouldn't be the lone highlight of the season opener.

The Dallas Mavericks would love to find similar help for their own superstar.

The Lakers may get Pau Gasol back as they look to extend their winning streak over the Mavericks to seven Friday at Staples Center, while Dallas hopes for a better performance from Dirk Nowitzki's supporting cast.

Los Angeles looked less than dominant after raising the banner to commemorate its 15th NBA title, but overcame a 41.2 percent shooting effort to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 99-92 on Tuesday. The Lakers got 33 points from Bryant and 26 and 13 rebounds from Bynum.

"It's always tough to play games after those kind of ceremonies,'' coach Phil Jackson said. "Some of the energy is always difficult to maintain because there is a lot of energy that's kind of dissipated when you go out and have that kind of ceremony. You're not ready to step up and march to the tune of this season right yet.''

While the Lakers got away with a poor shooting night - they also made four of 17 3-pointers and missed 12 of 37 free throws - the Mavericks weren't as fortunate in their season debut.

Dallas shot 39.5 percent against Washington on Tuesday, and though Nowitzki scored a game-high 34 points, he shot 10 of 25 in a 102-91 loss.

Nowitzki didn't get much help from his teammates. Shawn Marion scored 16 points in his Mavericks debut, but no one else had more than 13, with top reserve Jason Terry (4 of 15) among numerous Dallas players who struggled to make shots.

Forward Josh Howard averaged 18.0 points last season, but he is expected to miss at least 10 days as he recovers from offseason ankle and wrist surgery. In the meantime, Dallas needs someone to take the pressure off Nowitzki.

"He would be dead by Christmas if we're going to let him be the offense,'' said point guard Jason Kidd, who had four points, six rebounds and six assists. "Our team defense stunk. We didn't rebound the ball well. Everything we're supposed to do well was a no-show tonight.''

Perhaps Terry will get back in rhythm against the Lakers, as he averaged 23.5 points on 51.0 percent shooting in his last six matchups with Los Angeles. The Mavericks lost all six, although none were decided by more than seven points.

Nowitzki averaged 24.2 points and Bryant 32.7 in those games.

Bynum's strong effort against the Clippers helped make up for the absence of Gasol, who sat out to rest his strained right hamstring. Jackson is hopeful Gasol can return Friday, while the Mavericks would love to see him miss another game.

The forward averaged 21.5 points on 63.3 percent shooting in his last four contests against Dallas, and went 12 of 13 from the floor in a 107-100 home win over the Mavs on March 15.

Nowitzki will likely spend much of Friday's game shadowed by new Laker Ron Artest, who had 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting in his debut with Los Angeles but also committed four turnovers.

"Some offensive things he had opportunities for he didn't complete, but I thought he looked like he was in the mix and knew what was going on most of the time," Jackson told the Lakers' official Web site.

The Mavericks lost 33 of their last 36 road games against the Lakers.

Mavs send league-wide message with win over Lakers

By Bryan Chu, for NBA.com
Posted Saturday October 31, 2009 2:52AM

LOS ANGELES (NBA.com exclusive) -- Just three nights removed from a jubilant ring ceremony, the Lakers came crashing down Friday in front of a soldout Staples Center.

The Mavericks used a spirited offensive onslaught in the third quarter, knocking out the defending champions 94-80, and at the same time sending a message to the rest of the league not to sleep on the team from the Lone Star state.

"Just because no one is talking about us," Dallas forward Shawn Marion said, "doesn't mean we're not on the map."

Added Dallas guard Jason Kidd: "It's a big win, character-wise for this team. The Lakers have had our number so it's a confidence booster for us. It helps us gain confidence on the road that we can play against the best."

The Mavericks kept the Lakers, who trailed the entire game, and especially Kobe Bryant offbalance all night. Bryant finished with a team-high 20 points, but it took him 19 shots. The Lakers, who settled for jumpshots most of the night, were down by as many as 22 in large part because of a paltry 39.5 percent shooting and 19 turnovers.

"Our rhythm wasn't good in the offense," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "We didn't read this team well at all."

The defending champs found themselves down 18 heading into the fourth. The closest they would get was 80-68 after Marion, who finished with 18 points, scored eight straight.

It was in the third quarter, however, where the Mavericks closed the game out.

Dallas, which didn't shoot much better from the field (41.6 percent), outscored the Lakers 26-15 in the third and held Bryant to just two points. Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki scored nine of his game-high 21 in the third. Dallas' lead swelled to as many as 22 after guard Jose Barea walked in for a layup with under three minutes to go.

"We gave them one shot and put pressure on them on the other end," said Kidd, who had two points but collected 11 assists. "We knew coming into the fourth quarter that Kobe would put pressure on us. I think the zone helped us a little bit on that. We used a small lineup in the zone."

With the victory, Dallas broke a six-game losing streak to the Lakers, but more importantly atoned for a poor showing in their season-opening loss to the Wizards.

"We always take it personally after we get our a**** kicked," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said.

All night, frustration set in for the Lakers, who were without All-Star Pau Gasol for the second night because of a right hamstring injury. Bryant and Ron Artest each picked up their first technical fouls of the season arguing with the referees. A few boos rained down on the Lakers in the third before a Bryant basket and a Josh Powell layup at the end of the quarter quelled the crowd and trimmed the Mavericks lead to 78-60.

A bright spot for the Lakers was reserve Shannon Brown, who finished with 12 points. In the second quarter, the Lakers were down as many as eight before Brown drained a pair of 3-pointers and a fallaway 18-foot jumper to bring the Lakers to within two at 37-35. Reigning Sixth Man of the Year Jason Terry answered, scoring 10 straight for the Mavs. Terry finished with 16 points.

"I wasn't happy with the second quarter," Jackson said. "We played scattered."

Artest was saddled with early foul trouble and couldn't get anything going for the second night in a row. Artest missed five of six shots and had four turnovers to go along with five fouls.

Playful Banter: Known for his entertaining comments, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban opined before the season that adding Artest to the Lakers may cause chemistry issues.

During pregame Friday, Artest said, "I want to ask him what team should I play for? What team best fits me? Should I not be here? Should I not be in the NBA? I posted it on Twitter. It didn't work. He didn't respond. ... I want him to tell me what I'm good for."

Cuban answered: "I think he'd be really good on my Dairy Queen team. I can get him really involved, teach him how to make a soft serve cone and get involved with the Blizzard. He can be a valuable addition."
