Carlisle gets best of old team as Mavs upend Pacers Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - Jason Terry scored 16 of his game-high 29 points
in a pivotal fourth-quarter comeback as the Dallas Mavericks helped head coach
Rick Carlisle earn a 109-106 victory over Indiana in facing his old team for
the first time since being fired by the Pacers at the end of the 2006-07
campaign.
Dirk Nowitzki and Antoine Wright each logged 24 points while Nowitzki also
grabbed 12 rebounds for the Mavs, who won their fifth straight game and second
consecutive home game after starting the season 0-4 as the host.
Josh Howard was able to practice today and hopes to return to the court Tuesday, according to the Dallas Morning News. He is recovering from an ankle injury and stated, "I'd love to come back tomorrow. We'll just see how it reacts. I'm right there on the lip of the cup (golf analogy). Tap it in or it sits there."
The Dallas Morning News reports that Antoine Wright sat out the second half of Saturday's win over Sacramento with a strained groin. The Mavericks don't know if he'll be able to play Tuesday night against the LA Clippers.
