Looking for a spark? Maybe this is it

The Mavericks have been waiting for something good to happen and they just got a huge break.

Yet another defensive breakdown allowed Nenad Krstic to get loose for a layup, which he blew.

Jason Kidd dragged down the rebound and it led to a quick Jason Terry 3-pointer, drawing the Mavericks within 42-38.

Bear in mind the Thunder is playing without Kevin Durant and Jeff Green. To lose to a team banking heavily on Robert Swift and Malik Rose would be a huge disappointment.
