MINNEAPOLIS - Vince Carter had 22 points and nine rebounds and Dirk
Nowitzki scored 16 points to help the Dallas Mavericks to a 100-77 victory over
the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night.
Brandan Wright added 13 points and seven rebounds for the Mavericks, who
have won three straight and four of their last five in a last-ditch push for the
playoffs. They entered the day in 11th place in the West, three games out of the
eighth spot.
Derrick Williams had 18 points and nine rebounds for the lethargic
Timberwolves, who had no energy on the second night of a tough back-to-back that
started in Denver. J.J. Barea scored 16 points, but Minnesota's bench managed
just six other points. The Wolves are 6-25 since Kevin Love broke his hand for
the second time on Jan. 8.
