Mavs Finally Snap their 6 Game Losing Streak, Beating the Lakers 109-100

Mavs fans can finally breathe as their 6 game losing streak has come to a halt.

With Jason Kidd's on key shooting from 3-point land, it seemed like the day would never come where he would be in a slump. But as the Mavs were falling fast, getting hit with injuries left and right, and Terry missing his shots, Kidd's slump began. He had zero points in two consecutive games, as he was 1 for 14 in each combined. Well, last night was a huge turnaround for the Mavs as both Jason's went on fire to end their slumps.

The Lakers led by 11 points in the first half and were up 8 halfway through the third quarter. But they didn't take the lead much longer as the Mavs got hot and were up 9 points going into the fourth quarter. Although the Lakers were able to get a couple of and-one's and Kobe got in some shots, neither helped the Lakers regain the lead.

The game ended with the crowd on their feet, as the Mavs beat the Lakers 109-100. This was only the Lakers second loss in 10 games.

Jason Kidd had an incredible night with a season high 21 points and 10 assists. Terry also had a great night coming out of a slump as well scoring 22 points and 7 assists. Marion matched Terry having 22 points as well. Dirk had 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, as he's still recovering from a sore knee. Pavlovic surprised everyone when he was 5 for 7 scoring 11 points his last night with the Mavs. Chandler left the game around the half feeling sick again but returned later on and managed to score 6 points and 10 rebounds. Stevenson, who is an excellent shooter, hasn't been making too many of his shots lately; he was 0 for 5 from the field.

Gasol led the Lakers with 23 points. Kobe was right behind him with 21 points and 10 assists and Odom with 20 points 10 rebounds.

Now that the Mavs finally pulled off a home win, they're looking to end their road slump as they face the Bulls in Chicago tonight.
