Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - Rodrigue Beaubois scored a season-high 22 points
to power the short-handed Mavericks to a 116-101 win over Utah.
Lamar Odom added a season-best 19 points and Jason Terry scored 18 off the
bench for Dallas, which played without Dirk Nowitzki (sore right knee) and
Delonte West (strained right hamstring). Starting point guard Jason Kidd left
the game in the first quarter with a strained right calf and didn't return.
Despite the injuries, the Mavericks shot 55 percent and went 11-of-19 from
three-point range on the way to their fourth win in five games.
Brendan Haywood contributed 12 points and 12 rebounds, while Shawn Marion
notched 16 points for Dallas, which has won six in a row against the Jazz. The
Mavs have beaten Utah in 15 of their last 17 home games.
Paul Millsap scored 20 for the Jazz, who have suffered back-to-back defeats.
