Even with Oklahoma City missing Kevin Durant, the Dallas Mavericks turned to two of its stars to fend off the Thunder on Friday night. Dirk Nowitzki scored 17 of his 41 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, Jason Kidd hit two big 3-pointers in the extra period, and the Mavericks overcame a 12-point deficit to beat the short-handed Oklahoma City Thunder 110-108.

RUMOR HAS IT…

Evening Scoop: What Might Have Been

The Oklahoma City Thunder made a huge (and surprising) splash last week when they acquired Tyson Chandler from the New Orleans Hornets. Unfortunately, the splash soon became a puddle, as the Thunder rescinded the trade. When he learned of the trade, Thunder star Kevin Durant couldn't help but get excited.

Morning Report: Chase Em Out Nellie

Chase Them Out Nellie: Let's face it, the Golden State Warriors have wasted another season, so it's not much of a surprise that Warriors coach Don Nelson wants to start playing his younger players to get them experience and see how they handle themselves in extended minutes. This, after all, is a wasted season and you need to start understanding what you have on the roster. The Warriors will play the Bobcats tonight in Oakland. The interesting note about this game is back on December 20th, Jamal Crawford hung 50 on the Bobcats, but was told earlier in the week he might not play tonight. Crawford is not injured, he is not nursing a sore anything, and in fact he wants to play in the game. Don Nelson is saying he'll play the young guys. If you're scratching your head on why you would deprive your fan base of the "rematch" you're not alone. There aren't many bright spots on the season for Warriors' fans, but watching Jamal hang huge numbers is entertaining, at least. Crawford's agent Aaron Goodwin is based in Oakland and is a bit more upset about the decision than the mild mannered Crawford and the interesting part is Crawford has an option to become a free agent this summer.
