DALLAS -- Shawn Marion's 1,000th game was like so many others in his 14-year career.

 

He scored. He rebounded. He combined with Dirk Nowitzki to lead Dallas to another victory.

 

Marion had 18 points and nine rebounds, Nowitzki also had 18 while passing Allen Iverson on the career scoring list and the Mavericks beat the Phoenix Suns 110-95 on Sunday night.

 

It was the 10th straight home win for the Mavericks against the Suns, who haven't won in Dallas since March 14, 2007.

 

While Marion joined Nowitzki in the 1,000-game club, he won't ever get where the big German is on the scoring list. He's always been known for other things anyway, such as defense. He frequently guards the opponent's best player, and he also had five assists against the Suns.

 

"I pride myself in getting better every year I've played in the league and helping my teammates get better as well," said Marion, who played 660 games in Phoenix and had brief stops in Miami and Toronto before joining Nowitzki in Dallas in 2009. "That's why I'm able to have such a long career."
