No Dirk, No Win: Mavs fall to the dreadful Raptors

When Dirk left the game with an injury last night vs OKC, the Mavs stayed hopeful and played their hardest, pulling off a 103-93 win; Tonight, this wasn't the case.

It was a mess from the start when the Mavs offense wasn't clicking, missing 16 of 20 shots in the first quarter. They handled the ball terribly as they had 17 turnovers which quickly became a problem.

The Mavericks were down just 6 points at halftime, but couldn't find the right rhythm to make a comeback. 

Rookie Ed Davis scored a career high of 17 points 12 rebounds while Linas Kleiza and DeMar DeRozen each added 16 points. Shawn Marion started in the place of Nowitzki, scoring 12 points. Terry scored 18 and Butler 15, while every other player scored below 10 points. Kidd had a low of 4 assists when he normally averages 8.8 assists per game. This just shows that without star player Dirk Nowitzki, running the floor can become extremely difficult.

The Raptors have allowed over 100 points per game for their opponents while this game, the Mavs struggled just to barely get over 70.

Tonight is the first time Toronto has beat Dallas since 1999; they've lost 10 straight. But tonight they did a good job of taking advantage of the Dirkless Mavs, leaving them 24-6.

Dirk is taking it day to day with his injury, therefore his appearance in Thursday's game vs the Spurs is still questionable. We can only pray for the best!

Check out your one and only Dirk Nowitzki commentating the game! haha
