DALLAS – The Dallas Mavericks produced a fourth-quarter rally to overcome the Minnesota Timberwolves 104-96 on Thursday and reach 50 wins for the 11th consecutive season.
The Mavericks opened the fourth quarter with a four-point lead but Wayne Ellington drained a 22-foot jump shot to thrust the Timberwolves to a 94-93 lead with just over three minutes remaining.
However, Tyson Chandler started an 11-2 run for Dallas over the final three minutes when he claimed a key offensive rebound and scored a basket while drawing a foul which he converted for the three-point play.
Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 30 points and 11 rebounds while Anthony Randolph led the Timberwolves with 31 points and 11 rebounds.
Kevin Love, the league leader in rebounds (15.4) and double-doubles (64) did not play for the Timberwolves due to a strained left groin.
