A magical night of numbers for the Mavericks

50
With an epic comeback win over the Cavs tonight, the Mavs reached 50 wins faster than any Dallas club before them.

6
Cuban's owned the team for 6 seasons, and the Mavericks have now won at least 50 games in each of them.

66-16
Avery Johnson's coaching record after 82 games is 66-16, the best full-season start in NBA history and 4 games better than Paul Westphal, who now ranks 2nd.

1-11
Dirk Nowitzki hit only 1 of his first 11 shots tonight in a hideous first half for Dallas.

11-17
Shooters keep shooting, and Dirk hit 65% of his remaining attempts, several of which were tough spinning fadeaways from the post over Drew Gooden.

19
The Mavericks were behind by almost 20 against Cleveland at the half tonight.

27-8
Dallas outscored the Cavs by 19 in the 3rd period to humiliate and frustrate LeBron and company. Marquis Daniels hassled King James while Dampier completely dominated the defensive paint.

30 pts, 13 rebs, 6 asts, 2 blks, 1 TO
vs.
36 pts, 12 rebs, 5 asts, 4 TOs, 2 blks
Dirk's line vs. LeBron's line. When Nowitzki out-passes James on the night, the odds are good the Mavericks came away with a victory.
