Mavs cruising at the half

They're up 59-43 and held the Knicks to 39 percent shooting.

Roddy B. has 11 points and, like Jason Terry, has hit three of four from beyond the arc. The Mavericks are 8-of-13 from long range, which explains why the offense looks so good without Jason Kidd.

When the shots are going, everybody looks good.

Except for the big German. Nowitzki is 1-of-6 from the field. The Knicks are trying to make sure he doesn't beat them. So far, everybody else has.
