Quotes Jason Kidd: "From the beginning to end we played well." Kidd: "We kept that winning streak intact and you couldn't have asked for any more than that." Jamal Mashburn: "We owed 'em one. We should have won that game in Milwaukee. It fired us up a little bit. We took it to 'em." Mashburn: "Everyone is stepping up their play. We are not concerned about momentum. We have been playing pretty good defense of late and that's the most important thing." Mashburn: "We're having a lot of fun now. We've won 30 games and we only won 13 all of last year. It's a great feeling. There's not much you can say about last year. We have some coaching now." Mashburn: "Coach Motta brings us stability, structure, and experience. He brought fun back to basketball." Dick Motta: "We have a chance to make a run for a playoff spot. It just depends on how we do on the upcoming road trip." Mike Dunleavy: "We got off to a slow start and never could get our offense going. The Mavericks are much improved from the last time we saw them." Glenn Robinson: "We got down 20 points and we just couldn't get back. Then the game was history. I got some good looks, but I missed the first 3 or 4 jump shots." Robinson: "The shots weren't falling tonight. We couldn't get it going. Jamal is a tough player. The first quarter just killed us. We got down 20 points and the game was history." 1 2 3 4 Final 2FG 3FG FG% FT% Dallas 30 34 21 29 - 114 .463 .467 .464 .654 Milwaukee 13 34 22 24 - 93 .468 .063 .400 .667 Halftime: 64-47 Dallas 3rd Q: 85-69 Dallas Technicals: 2 Dallas illegal D Refs: Mike Mathis, Bruce Alexander, George Toliver Attendance: 16,138 (cap. 17,502) Dallas REB Player MIN FGM-FGA 3PM-3PA FTM-FTA PTS O-T AST PF STL TO BLK Jamal Mashburn 30 8-14 0-3 5-8 21 1-3 3 1 1 1 0 Popeye Jones 24 5-10 0-0 0-2 10 2-10 2 2 0 0 0 Lorenzo Williams 29 2-5 0-0 0-0 4 4-10 1 4 1 3 1 Jason Kidd 24 3-8 1-3 2-2 9 1-5 9 2 1 3 0 Lucious Harris 32 7-16 3-4 0-1 17 6-8 2 2 0 0 0 Scott Brooks 25 5-8 2-3 2-2 14 0-1 5 1 2 1 0 Roy Tarpley 25 6-13 0-0 2-2 14 3-11 2 3 0 0 1 Tony Dumas 16 4-7 0-1 0-0 8 2-4 1 1 0 5 0 George McCloud 14 3-7 1-1 1-2 8 3-3 3 2 2 0 0 Doug Smith 13 2-6 0-0 4-5 8 1-5 1 2 1 1 0 Donald Hodge 4 0-1 0-0 0-0 0 0-1 0 0 0 0 0 Terry Davis 4 0-2 0-0 1-2 1 0-0 0 1 0 1 0 Totals 240 45-97 7-15 17-26 114 23-61 29 21 8 15 2 Milwaukee REB Player MIN FGM-FGA 3PM-3PA FTM-FTA PTS O-T AST PF STL TO BLK Glenn Robinson 36 8-19 0-3 5-7 21 2-4 2 4 0 6 1 Johnny Newman 24 3-7 0-1 1-1 7 1-5 0 1 1 0 0 Vin Baker 35 6-17 0-0 1-5 13 7-16 2 3 1 3 2 Todd Day 25 2-15 0-5 3-3 7 1-6 0 2 1 1 0 Lee Mayberry 20 2-6 0-2 1-1 5 0-1 5 2 0 0 0 Marty Conlon 34 7-13 0-0 0-0 14 3-10 0 2 1 2 1 Jon Barry 23 1-1 0-0 2-4 4 1-2 5 3 2 0 1 Eric Murdock 23 6-11 1-4 1-1 14 2-2 5 2 0 2 0 Alton Lister 10 1-2 0-0 0-0 2 2-3 0 2 0 1 0 Tate George 5 0-2 0-1 2-2 2 1-1 0 1 0 2 0 Eric Mobley 5 2-2 0-0 0-0 4 0-2 0 0 0 0 0 Totals 240 38-95 1-16 16-24 93 20-52 19 22 6 17 5 Sacramento beat Orlando last night, so the Mavs are still 3 games behind the Kings for the 8th playoff spot. patricia
