Mavs Knock Out Hornets Perfect Season Start
Yeah that’s right. Take that Hornets, no stinging from you guys tonight in Dallas as the Mavericks put a stop to the Hornets perfect start of this season. They were the last unbeaten team and this is probably a great match up of playoff bound teams.
The Mavs were up at the end of the 1st quarter but started to slip behind until the 4th quarter as the Hornets surged ahead in the 2nd, outscoring the Mavs 28-20 and by 2 points in the 3rd to keep a 10 or so point lead.
The Mavs took control in the 4th, behind Terry’s 26 points on 9-19 shooting with 3 three pointers. Nowitzki added 25 points with 10 boards.
Chris Paul lead the Hornets in the first half with 20 points but was limited to just 2 points in the second half.
The Mavs and the Hornets meet again Wednesday night in a back to back match up, this time in New Orleans. Let’s hope the Mavs can keep up the pace against this surprise team this year.
