12 game win streak snapped
Rose's three rims out at buzzer; Bulls lose
Bulls 102 Mavericks 105

Dirk led the Mavericks in scoring with 24 points.

The Chicago Bulls had their 12 game win streak snapped at the hands of the reigning champs, the Dallas Mavericks. It was a nail biter all the way through. It was a slug it out type game. A heavyweight-type basketball game with both teams going blow for blow. Dirk Nowitzki had it going Wednesday night with a double-double for 24 points and 11 boards. Jason Kidd had one of his more complete games of the season with 18 points, 9 assists, and 5 boards.

The Bulls had a shot to tie with 14.7 seconds left in regulation. Coach Thib's called an isolation for Derrick Rose. Rose began to drive, hop-stepped backwards for a three but it rimmed out. "It was a good look. Just rimmed out. Got to give it up for the Mavs, they played well." said Rose after the game. Joakim Noah had his best performance of the year with 21 points and 10 boards. Omer Asik returned to play after suffering a ligament tear in his foot. Bulls have a night off tomorrow but then have a back to back against Washington at home Friday and in Detroit Saturday. This will be Rip Hamilton's first return to Detroit since leaving. Maybe that will be the spark he needs to get going.

Joakim Noah dunks on Dirk Nowitzki Wednesday night.
