Mavericks-Bucks Preview

Posted Dec 31 2010 3:56PM

The Dallas Mavericks have gone from playing like a championship contender to looking rather ordinary since Dirk Nowitzki's injury.

Surprisingly, they also didn't play particularly well with their superstar forward in a stunning loss to the Milwaukee Bucks three weeks ago.

The Mavericks, who again might be without Nowitzki, try to avoid losing their third a row while avenging that defeat to the Bucks when they visit Milwaukee on Saturday night.

Nowitzki is expected to travel with Dallas (24-7) for its weekend trip, but it is uncertain if he will play in this contest or Sunday's game in Cleveland. The nine-time All-Star sprained his right knee in Monday's 103-93 win over Oklahoma City and is listed as day to day.

Without Nowitzki's 24.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, the Mavericks lost to Toronto 84-76 on Tuesday and fell to San Antonio 99-93 on Thursday. Brian Cardinal started in Nowitzki's place Thursday and finished with nine points for Dallas, which had reached the 100-point mark in 13 of its previous 16 games.

"We're talking about a guy that to me is easily the MVP right now," coach Rick Carlisle told the Mavericks' official website. "I can't really express how great he is and how much he means to this team as a basketball team.

"When he's not on the floor the game changes significantly, even if he's not shooting the ball or not posting up. His mere presence is a game-changer."

The Mavericks had won 17 of their previous 18 with Nowitzki, with their only loss coming in a 103-99 defeat to the Bucks (12-18) on Dec. 13.

Dallas led by as many as 20 points in the first half, but Milwaukee came storming back and went up by as much as nine in the final minutes. Nowitzki finished with 30 points as the Mavericks' 12-game winning streak came to an end.

"They (the Bucks) celebrated on our floor, so we owe them something real good," said center Tyson Chandler, who had 11 points and nine rebounds in the first meeting.

While Dallas is expected to be without its best player, the Bucks will also be without one of their biggest scoring threats.

Brandon Jennings, who had 23 points and 10 assists in the first meeting, is expected to be out at least two more weeks after left foot surgery.

John Salmons has stepped up since Jennings' injury, averaging 18.2 points in his last six games - 4.6 better than his season mark. Salmons and his teammates, however, had trouble offensively in Tuesday's 90-77 loss to Chicago.

Salmons finished with 18 points but missed 12 of 17 shots, while Andrew Bogut matched a season low with four points on 2-of-12 shooting for the Bucks, who shot a season-low 32.1 percent.

"We've got to be tough on the offensive end," said Salmons, who had five points against the Mavericks in December. "Somehow we've got to figure it out."

The Bucks have struggled offensively all season, ranking last in the league with an average of 90.3 points and in field goal percentage at 41.1, but they still managed to make plays against a defensively solid Dallas team three weeks ago.

Bogut had 21 points and 14 rebounds as Milwaukee placed five players in double-figure scoring and reached the century mark for the second time in the last 19 games.

The Bucks haven't swept a season series from the Mavericks since 2002-03.

Boykins scores 26 points, Bucks beat Mavs

Posted Jan 02 2011 12:30AM

MILWAUKEE (AP) Injuries are starting to catch up to the Dallas Mavericks.

Caron Butler went down with a knee injury in the first quarter, and Milwaukee's Earl Boykins returned after a one-game suspension to score a season-high 26 points in the Bucks' 99-87 victory Saturday night. The short-handed Mavericks have lost three straight.

The extent of Caron's injury wasn't known after the game, but the Mavericks were preparing to play an extended time without the 6-foot-7 forward who entered the night averaging 15.4 points.

"We're afraid that it's potentially serious," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "We'll find out (Sunday) where things are at, probably later in the day."

Butler was to stay in Milwaukee overnight and return to Dallas on Sunday to be further examined.

Missing Dirk Nowitzki for the third consecutive game because of a sprained right knee and Shawn Marion with a thigh injury, the Mavericks suffered another blow when Butler was hurt. He stayed on the floor for a couple of minutes before limping off the court to the locker room with 2:47 left in the first quarter.

The trio averages just over 50 points a game.

"Look, with Dirk out and Shawn out, it's a game we had to win and we won," Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles said. That's great."

With all those injured players, Dallas turned to reserve guard Jose Barea, who scored a career-high 29 points in 35 minutes. Dallas has lost all three games with Nowitzki out of the lineup.

"We're short on bodies now, having some injury problems," Nowitzki said. "But we've got to fight through it. Hopefully I can get back soon and Marion can get back soon, and we'll see how bad Caron is and we'll just go from there."

John Salmons scored 21 points for Milwaukee, and Ersan Ilyasova had 16 points and a season-high 17 rebounds.

The Bucks had a 51-31 rebounding advantage and outscored Dallas 50-24 in the paint.

Dallas played a lot of zone defense in an effort to stop Andrew Bogut and the Milwaukee center was held to eight points. Boykins, suspended a game for bumping referee Brian Forte on Monday night against Atlanta, made nine of 16 shots and had six assists to neutralize the zone's effectiveness.

Boykins said there were seams in the Mavericks' zone.

"There's not too many teams in this league that can play a very good zone," said the 5-foot-5 guard, playing increased minutes because of an injury to starting point guard Brandon Jennings.

"A lot of teams play the zone, but you know sometime they get overextended just because guys aren't used to playing the zone," he said. "Their guards were a little too wide. Once we were able to get their guys wide we passed to the middle and that was huge."

Ilyasova made a pair of free throws and Salmons hit an 18-foot jumper to give Milwaukee a 94-85 lead with 2:25 to go. Tyson Chandler made a pair of free throws for Dallas, but Boykins found Keyon Dooling open and the Bucks guard made a 3-pointer for a 97-87 lead with 1:33 left. Chandler then missed a 6-foot hook shot, and Ilyasova made a pair of free throws for a 99-87 lead with 55 seconds left.

The Bucks used a 7-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to open a lead they never relinquished. Bogut made a hook in the lane. Boykins made a 3-pointer and Bogut hit a baseline 15 footer for an 85-77 lead with 7:38 to go.

The Bucks took the lead for good, 67-65, on Salmons' 3-pointer with 2:55 left in the third quarter.

Milwaukee's Luc Mbah a Moute sustained a mild concussion and played only 12 minutes.

NOTES: Barea's previous career high was 26 points at Houston on Feb. 20, 2009. ... Skiles said Jennings was rehabbing by riding a stationary bicycle before the game, but there still was no timetable for his return. Jennings had surgery for a stress fracture in his left foot Dec. 20 and was expected to miss at least four weeks. ... Skiles sent Jon Brockman into the game midway through the fourth quarter to twice foul Brendan Haywood, who was making only 28 percent (15 of 53) of his free throws. Haywood was 1 of 4.

Mavericks-Bucks notebook

THE FACTS: Earl Boykins scored 26 points, and Ersan Ilyasova had 16 points and a career-high 17 rebounds to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 99-87 victory over the Dallas Mavericks Saturday night at the Bradley Center. Jose Barea led the Mavericks with a career-high 29 points, but Dallas played without Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Marion and lost forward Caron Butler to a knee injury in the first quarter. The Mavericks lost their third straight.

QUOTABLE: "I was looking for the three. I knew we had reversed the ball a few times and I could see they were starting to cheat to the passing lanes. I knew it was going to be there."
-- Boykins on his open 3-pointer over the Dallas zone with 8:23 left that started a 5-0 run.

THE STAT: The Mavericks had an eight-game road winning streak snapped as they fell to 11-2 away from the American Airlines Center. The San Antonio Spurs (10-2) are the only other team in the NBA with fewer than five road losses.

TURNING POINT: Although undermanned, the Mavericks were hanging around and trailed by just three at 80-77 with 8:34 left. When the Bucks broke their huddle and inbounded, the Mavericks settled into a zone, and Boykins found himself with plenty of room to drop in a 3-pointer with 8:23 left. On the next Milwaukee possession, Andrew Bogut found himself unguarded on the left baseline and dropped in a rare-for-him 15-foot jumper to make it 85-77 with 7:38 left. The Mavericks never got closer than five the rest of the way.

QUOTABLE II: "My elbow is starting to feel better and I have confidence shooting the jumper. Everybody's surprised I don't shoot jumpers but I'm going to (have to) keep shooting them. That's just the way it has to go. A lot of it has to do with my elbow and my elbow is starting to feel better."
-- Bogut on shooting face-up jumpers

HOT: Bucks guard John Salmons hit 9 of 15 shots for 21 points.

NOT: Dallas sixth man Jason Terry made just 3 of 15 shots and 1 of 6 on 3-pointers as the Mavericks were held to 37.5 percent shooting (30 of 80).

GOOD MOVE: Dallas coach Rick Carlisle had his team in a zone much of the night to counter a man-power shortage, and the Mavericks did a good job of hanging around most of the night.

BAD MOVE: Staying in the zone defense proved costly in the fourth quarter, as Boykins and Bogut both had wide-open shots that helped the Bucks to a comfortable cushion.

NOTABLE: With the Mavericks already missing Nowitzki and Marion, forward Caron Butler went down clutching his right knee with 2:47 left in the first quarter. He stayed down until the Mavericks got a timeout called and eventually was helped to the locker room and did not return. The injury could keep Butler out a significant amount of time. ... Milwaukee forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute left with a concussion and did not play in the second half. ... Dallas' Ian Mahinmi received four stitches above his right eye after a collision late in the first half but did return in the second half. ... The Bucks outrebounded the Mavs, 51-31. Guard Jason Kidd led Dallas with seven rebounds to go with 14 points and nine assists.

UP NEXT: For the Mavericks, Sunday @ Cleveland, Tuesday vs. Portland, Thursday vs. Oklahoma City. For the Bucks, Tuesday @ Miami, Wednesday @ Orlando, Friday vs. Miami.
