Quote:
Jason Kidd came bounding off the bench and delivered a flying chest bump to Eddie Jones moments after he threw down an alley-oop dunk the other night against Golden State.
Josh Howard repeatedly attacked the basket without trepidation. Jason Terry hurtled out of bounds to save a loose ball, resulting in a reverse layup when Kidd delivered a nifty pass to Howard.
There were primal screams and fist pumps galore.
Then there was Dirk Nowitzki lumbering up and down the court with an injured ankle and knee, doing everything he could possibly do to lift the Mavericks past the Warriors.
The Mavs – who ran a tired Golden State team playing its fourth game in five nights into submission – is the team we need to see play each of the final seven games this season, not the group of tin men we've seen way too often against the Western Conference's best teams.
