Mavericks-Nets Preview

Deron Williams chose to re-sign with the Brooklyn Nets last offseason, passing on a chance to join his hometown Dallas Mavericks.

While the point guard's numbers are down compared to years past, he was at his best during Brooklyn's last game.

With Joe Johnson hoping to return from injury, Williams tries to build on his latest effort as the Nets host the slumping Mavericks on Friday night.

After considering bolting for Dallas, Williams instead agreed to stay with the Nets, signing a five-year, $98 million deal in July. The Mavericks could only offer four years and about $75 million under the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement.

The Nets (34-24) sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, but Williams is averaging just 17.3 points - his lowest mark in six seasons. His 7.7 assists per game are his fewest since posting 4.5 as a rookie for Utah in 2005-06.

Williams, though, came up huge Tuesday in a 101-97 win at New Orleans. He scored the team's final 11 points over the last 1:24, finishing with a season high-tying 33 to go along with eight assists.

"It feels good to get it going, especially down the stretch and be able to close out a game," said Williams, who continues to play though inflammation in his ankles.

"It's something I've kind of struggled with this year and I was really successful at it most of my career, so it feels good to be able to finally have a game like that."

Williams went 9 for 10 from the free-throw line, making all six attempts over the final 18.7 seconds. The Nets are 22-7 when he makes at least four free throws.

"He played a great game. That's why he's an All-Star," interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said. "When he plays like that, we are hard to beat."

Williams may not need to carry as big a load Friday if Johnson suits up. The veteran swingman, averaging 17.0 points, has missed the last three games due to a sore left heel.

The Nets had lost five straight and 19 of 22 to the Mavericks before pulling out a 93-92 road win Feb. 28, 2012. Brook Lopez scored 38 points that night while Williams had 12 assists, although he was just 3 of 15 from the field.

Dallas (25-32) is coming off its third consecutive loss, 90-84 at Memphis on Wednesday. The Mavericks led by as many as 25 points in the second quarter before the Grizzlies went on a 36-4 run spanning halftime.

Dallas managed just five points in the third, its fewest in a period since setting an NBA record with two in the third quarter of an 87-80 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on April 6, 1997.

The Mavericks were outrebounded 46-34 while allowing 23 points off 21 turnovers Wednesday. O.J. Mayo had five and Darren Collison four as Dallas dropped to 6-22 when committing at least 14 turnovers.

"It's another tough lesson in a season full of tough lessons," coach Rick Carlisle told the league's official website. "Our guards have to understand when they see that kind of pressure that they have to attack it right away. We've got to do more to help them."

More production from Mayo also could prove key. Mayo is averaging 12.3 points - 5.1 below his team-leading mark - on 38.9 percent shooting over the last three games. The Mavericks are 16-9 when he scores at least 19 points compared to 9-23 when he has 18 or fewer.

Dirk Nowitzki entered Wednesday having averaged 25.3 points and 13.3 rebounds over a three-game stretch before posting 10 and four versus Memphis.

Mavericks hold on to beat Nets 98-90

NEW YORK (AP) After blowing a 25-point lead two nights earlier, the Dallas Mavericks seemed like they were on their way to another collapse.

Trailing by 20 with 8:23 remaining, Brooklyn stormed back to get within four points with 37 seconds remaining.

But the Mavericks dodged a repeat of Wednesday night's loss at Memphis, closing out the Nets for a 98-90 victory on Friday night behind 20 points apiece from Dirk Nowitzki and former Nets guard Vince Carter.

"We played a lot more good minutes than we played in Memphis for sure. It's hard to play a perfect 48 minutes in this league, I'll admit that," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said.

"But we took advantage of our runs. We were able to stave them off a few times. We had some guys step up and hit some big shots. Vince hit one shot off a timeout that was big. O.J. (Mayo's) 3 in the right corner was a huge play. We made a few mistakes, obviously. So hey, we'll take it and run."

Brooklyn's season-long, second-half deficiency caught up to them again. The Mavericks held the Nets to just 5-of-17 shooting from the field in the third quarter before they found their shooting touch in the fourth quarter, hitting 10-of-22 shots.

"We came out and we had a couple of turnovers early and we got really flat after that," Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said.

"We didn't execute well but worse we just didn't play with any defensive energy and the score went from like 10 to 20 in a very short time."

It was a big win for the Mavericks, who still maintain hopes of somehow claiming the eighth spot in the Western Conference despite trailing the Houston Rockets by five games. The Mavericks, who had lost their last three games, will face the Rockets on Sunday night in the opener of a home-and-home set at Houston.

"It's been a frustrating and disappointing season obviously overall. We lost a couple of close games that we thought we should've had," Nowitzki said. "We have to go in with a free mindset and kind of forget what happened so far and let it all rip. Houston is a great team. (James) Harden is having a phenomenal year. They're a tough team. They're fast, athletic. So we got our hands full."

Mayo, who added 17 points, is looking forward to the matchup at Houston after pulling off a road win in Brooklyn, just the Mavs' 10th in 30 tries this season.

"That's a (team that's) ahead of us and gives us the opportunity to gain ground and make them back track a little bit," Mayo said.

"I thought we did our job. We did what was expected. A lot of games this year we've been in and had the opportunity to win down the stretch and at the end of the games lose. . A lot of those times we had the lead going into the last five or six minutes and couldn't close it out. I thought we did what we needed to do to win the game."

Deron Williams scored 17 of his 24 points in the first half in his first game against Dallas since deciding to remain with the Nets instead of signing with the Mavericks last summer, but felt his indecisiveness and thinking about when to pass the ball or not played a role in Brooklyn's latest loss at home, its third straight.

"It started with me. I think it is kind of a snowball effect," said Williams, who led the Nets to a 49-48 halftime lead before they had another dismal third quarter. Dallas outscored Brooklyn 29-14, as the Nets shot just 5 of 17 from the field.

"I was throwing the ball everywhere and it is just one of those things where you see a guy making some bad passes and you start thinking about it."

Brook Lopez had 19 points and Joe Johnson added 11 as he returned to the Nets after missing the last three games with a foot injury.

"I think we just put ourselves in a bad position. One through 12, we did not have any energy, no energy on the floor, no energy on the bench and that is tough," Lopez said.

Brooklyn will have to turn it around quick when it visits the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. The Nets, fifth in the Eastern Conference race, are just a half-game better than the Bulls.

Jae Crowder hit a 3-pointer after a turnover by C.J. Watson, then Mike James hit another behind the arc to give Dallas its biggest lead of the night at 83-63 before Brooklyn started to chip away.

The Nets went on a 17-7 run to cut the lead to 94-90 after Lopez hit a pair of free throws with 37 seconds remaining. Mayo then made one free throw, and Watson missed a layup and failed to tip it in on the second attempt, James was fouled and made one free throw to make it 96-90.

After Williams missed a 3-pointer, Carter got fouled by Mirza Teletovic and put the game away with a pair of free throws to give Dallas a 98-90 lead.

Williams was the Mavericks' top target in free agency, hoping he would be convinced to return to the area where he starred in high school. He said it was a tough decision, deciding to stay with the Nets with a five-year deal worth about $98 million.

He has battled minor injuries throughout the season but has played better of late, though did commit a game-high seven turnovers Friday.

Notes: Brooklyn went 1-2 during Johnson's absence. . New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz and TV host Larry King were in attendance. . Watson scored 11 points, all in the fourth quarter.

Notebook: Mavericks 98, Nets 90

Jake Appleman, for NBA.com
Posted Fri Mar 01, 2013 11:29 PM - Updated Fri Mar 01, 2013 11:29 PM

THE FACTS: The Nets were unable to mount a full comeback after another dreadful third quarter, falling to the Dallas Mavericks 98-90 at Barclays Center. The Mavericks snapped a three-game losing streak and Vince Carter (20 points, four rebounds) excelled against his former team, turning in an efficient and memorable performance. Dirk Nowitzki finished with 20 points and eight rebounds. Deron Williams led the Nets with 24 points, but registered just two assists to seven turnovers.

QUOTABLE: "I think it's kind of one of those snowball effects. I was throwing the ball everywhere."
-- Williams.

THE STAT: The Nets committed 20 turnovers.

TURNING POINT: Chris Kaman and Darren Collison got the Mavericks going with baskets in the first 40 seconds of the third quarter, sparking the dominant third quarter that ended with a 6-0 Dallas run.

QUOTABLE II: "We were solid enough to beat one of the better teams in the East so that's a good sign. It's hard to play a perfect 48 minutes in this league, I'll admit that. But we took advantage of our runs; we were able to stave them off a few times."
-- Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Larry King attended the game, his first sporting event in Brooklyn since the Dodgers left in 1957.

ROOKIE WATCH: Despite talk that he would become a bigger part of the Nets' rotation, Mirza Teletovic didn't check in until the second half and his most significant contribution (a corner 3-pointer) was wiped out by three-second call on Brook Lopez...Jae Crowder played 14 minutes off the bench for the Mavericks.

NOTABLE: Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who is usually present at his team's road games, opted to attend the Sloan Statistics and Analytics Panel in Boston instead. It was the second consecutive engagement involving Williams that Cuban skipped, the first a meeting with Williams when he was a free agent this past summer.

UP NEXT: For the Mavericks, Sunday @ Houston, Wednesday vs. Houston, Friday @ Detroit. For the Nets, Saturday @ Chicago, Wednesday @ Bobcats, Friday vs. Wizards.
