The Mavericks outrebounded the Lakers 46-33 and held them to 36.8% shooting from the floor last night. Josh Howard led the way for the Mavericks with 24 points, 4 rebounds and 4 steals. Dirk Nowitzki added 19 points and 5 rebounds. It was nice for the Mavericks to have a good laugher to get the starters a rest and the bench some playing time.

The Mavericks improved to 52-9 on the season with this win. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270311013
