Owner Real Deal Posted December 11, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21353754.jpg DALLAS -- Dallas relied on defense to build a massive lead and extend its recent home dominance against Sacramento. O.J. Mayo scored 19 points and the Mavericks took control with a 31-3 run in the first half to win their 17th straight regular-season home game against Sacramento with a 119-96 victory over the Kings on Monday night. The Mavericks held the Kings without a field goal during the game-turning run. Sacramento missed 12 straight shots and committed nine turnovers in a span of nearly 11 minutes. "Some of it was them missing," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "But we were moving our feet. We were in position and we were scrambling. So that made a lot of good things happen for us offensively." Dallas (11-10) picked up its third win a row to go over .500 for the first time since Nov. 21. After tight wins over Phoenix and Houston, the Mavericks built a 28-point lead in the second quarter and led by double digits the entire second half. "We're playing good basketball right now," Mayo said. "But now we've got to take it on the road with us and continue playing hard. We need to continue playing with effort and energy." Francisco Garcia, who was 7 of 12 from 3-point range, and DeMarcus Cousins scored 25 points apiece for the Kings, who haven't won in Dallas during the regular season since Feb. 27, 2003. Jason Thompson added 11 points and 12 rebounds.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121210_SAC@DAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
