Dirk Nowitzki had a great night, leading the Dallas Mavericks (19-7) to an easy win over the Oklahoma City Thunder (12-12).  Dirk hit 13-18 shots on his way to 35 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.  Josh Howard had a solid game off the bench with 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 steal while helping keep Kevin Durant in check.  The Mav’s held Durant to 12 points and a season-worst 4-18 shooting.  The Mavs do need to do a better job on the boards, as they were outrebounded by five and gave up 15 offensive rebounds.  It was a good all-around effort though, and a strong defensive game for the Mavericks.
