MAVERICKS 105 WIZARDS 102 F...There is KNICKS Willis Reed...then there is MAVS G.O.A.T. as DIRK-ilicious bad ankle in all goes "Dagger" MONEY BALL in winning time to fold any hopes of D.C. WIZARDRY!..."LOGO WATCH" watching greatness in GERMANY and Big D's favorite Bubble Gum "DIRK-ilicious" NOWITZKI! #DALvsWSH #MAVSgang #WizKidsDC

The return of Bradley Beal was on full display at the big Wireless Hot Spot the Verizon Center as the Washington Wizards sharp-shooter is back after sitting out nearly two months with that broken wrist. Beal led Wiz with 21 points but the night belonged to "Mississippi Lightning" Monta and the Mavs G.O.A.T..

That's right with Dallas winning midway through the 3rd Mavs G.O.A.T. Dirk Nowitzki goes down with an apparent ankle injury stepping on teammates dawgs. Yes Germany's favorite son had to be helped off the court and into the locker room not to return...ok!

Meanwhile the Wiz Kids D.C. throwing some D.C. Wizardry at the Mavs finally took the lead midway through the 4th 85-84 on a Bradley Beal money ball. Mavs called timeout and guess who checked into the ball game getting his inner Willis Reed on...Dirk-ilicious Nowitzki who else.

With the Mavs JJ Barea making seven straight points late in the 4th putting the Mavs up 99-95 Marcin Gortat made a lay-up closing that lead to 99-97. On the ensuing Mavs possession it the Mavs G.O.A.T. @swish41 dialing it in from 23'9" making it 102-97 Mavs and Dallas goes onto win 105-102.

Dirk only had 13 points but its his will to win at all costs that will probably spring board
the Mavs into nice run here in November. Monta Ellis led all scorers with 34 points going vintage Jackson, Mississippi sniper. The Mavs shot a robust 25 for 29 from the line and that coupled with 43% from the arc puts them into the winner's circle.

D.C. Wizardry should take off as Beal coming off he bench now playing behind Garrett Temple will most likely in the coming week be back in that lineup. The Wizards are my pick to win the southeast and why not!  John Wall dab Wall-Star added 11 points and eleven helpers with six board in the loss.
