Stars getting no treatment

Neither LeBron James nor Dirk Nowitzki is getting the benefit of the doubt from the referees.

James has gotten pushed around a lot by Antoine Wright, but hasn't gotten many whistles going his way. He just made his first basket of the game with 4:45 to play in the half.

Nowitzki has been hounded by Anderson Varejao and hasn't been to the line yet, excep[t for a couple early freebies.

Meanwhile, Rick Carlisle picked up a technical for griping about the non-calls.

Mavs' lead continues to shrink.
