This one's done with

Yao's sitting down and T-Mac is getting his knee bandaged up like an accident victim. Aaron Brooks (he of 1.8 minutes per game) just touched the playing floor, which means the white flag has been waved. It's a solid win for the Mavs and lets them know they can still whoop up on teams when they execute correctly. It was a solid all-around effort, and it's a good team win for them. Dirk ended up with a solid second half and Josh Howard continued to hassle T-Mac while still scoring pretty well. The Mavs created a lot of turnovers and played very efficient ball in the second half.
