Mavericks 103, Magic 98

The last time I didn't start with "Mavericks" on the title, that was 15 games ago. 15 straight wins. 50-9. Ridiculous? You be the judge, but only if the answer is yes.

Big 3: Jason Terry led the charge, with 29 points, as well as an astounding 15 points. He was plain aggressive. He was back to his playoff form last year when he went crazy. He was just all over the place, playing a great game. Granted, the guys had to hit their shots for him to get an assist, but he was passing and stroking it well tonight. Nowitzki had his: 24 points and 9 rebounds. Josh Howard rounding out things with 21 points.

For the Magic, you assume Dwight Howard will be the stud and he was, getting 25 and 10. That's points and rebounds.

Nice to know the Mavs can win a gut check game, or back-to-back gut check teams against two good teams from the East. Granted, they beat them both on their home floor, but they played fourth quarters very well against both teams and managed to come out with a lead. This is huge for the playoffs as they are clearly the team to beat and continue to prove so every night.

The retro jerseys looked nice for Orlando, but it just didn't help them.
