The Brooklyn Nets rallied in the 4th and outscored the Dallas Mavericks 31-14 to pick up the 108-86 win. This game was an interesting one through 3 quarters until Joe Johnson and Deron Williams took over in the 4th. Joe Johnson scored a season high 31 and Deron Williams scored 19 and Marshon Brooks added 22. I spoke with Joe Johnson after the game. "We wanted this win so we could keep this momentum going and make a strong run for the 1st seed. I felt like we played pretty poor in the 1st 3 quarters you know not taking good shots forcing too many passes, but in the 4th I felt like we made a statement. Despite the early fouls we got to kind of help them hang around we answered really well by playing I think the best defense of the season in the 4th. So all around this was a pretty good win." The Brooklyn Nets picked up their third win in a row. The Dallas Mavericks played very poor in this game shooting 39 percent for the game. I spoke to Dirk Nowitzki briefly. "We did not shoot the ball well at all and that's really why we lost. We have to look for better shots and we weren't able to do it so we ended up losing the ball game. They played well in the 4th and we had no answer for them." Dirk Finished the game with 15 points on 7 of 13 shooting. He missed his last 4 shots in the 4th quarter. Darren Collison lead the Mavericks with 27 points.
