Clippers @ Mavs

Dirk's in the starting lineup! And he's addressing the crowd. Wow, it's hard to believe after seeing him go down like that in the Sonic's game.

1st Q: 26-22 Mavs. Not a bad start by the Mavs. It wasn't the blowout in the first period that they so often inflict, but they are still leading.

2nd Q: 63-45 Mavs. Mavs are looking good. Actually, they are having a great 2nd quarter, and Dirk's been impressive. He's almost had a double-double. So has Devean George who has hit 3/4 three-pointers.

3rd Q: Dirk's finally got his double-double -- 17 pts and 10 rebounds early in the third.

4th Q: It's pretty boring now that the starters have gone out of the game. Maybe slow is the better word.

All in all, one word sums up this game best: Blowout!
