Nowitzki, Dallas cruise past Bobcats
Basketball Betting Lines
11/18/2008 -
Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dirk Nowitzki poured in 32 points and
grabbed nine rebounds, and the Dallas Mavericks remained perfect all-time
against the Bobcats with a 100-83 win over Charlotte.
Josh Howard scored 21 points, and Jason Terry added 15 points off the bench
for the Mavericks, who are 9-0 all-time against Charlotte. Jason Kidd had 10
assists and two points, and Erick Dampier had 11 rebounds and six points for
Dallas, which has won two in a row after a five-game skid.
D.J. Augustin scored a career-high 21 points for the Bobcats, who have lost
four of five. Raymond Felton and Shannon Brown each added 11 points for
Charlotte, which shot 38.8 percent from the field, including a 1-of-10
performance from beyond the arc.
The Mavs started the game with a 15-0 run, and the Bobcats never recovered. A
Howard three capped the push, which was fueled just as much by Charlotte's
ineptitude on the offensive end as it was by Dallas' starting hot. The Bobcats
missed their first nine shots from the field, and Emeka Okafor missed two free
throws that could have ended the scoreless stretch with 5:58 left in the
quarter.
"It looked basically like the varsity scripting plays against a rec league
team out there," said Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace. "They did whatever they
wanted to do. They took us out of everything we wanted to do."
An Augustin floater 40 seconds later finally got the Bobcats on the board, but
Nowitzki three in the final seconds of the frame gave the Mavs a 28-10 lead
entering the second quarter.
The Mavericks lead reached 20, at 55-35, by the intermission, and Charlotte
never threatened to end its winless streak against Dallas in the second half.
The Dallas lead tapped out at 25 points early in the fourth quarter.
"We had it going the whole game, except for four minutes in the fourth
quarter," said Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle. "I'm not sure what we were
doing, but we can't complain about a win."

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
