NBA: Dallas 113, New Jersey 98
February 18, 2009
Josh Howard scored 24 points Wednesday and Dallas got 23 each from Jason Kidd and Dirk Nowitzki to defeat New Jersey 113-98.
Dallas outscored New Jersey 40-15 in the third period to turn the game into a rout and complete a 3-1 homestand.
Former Maverick Devin Harris led New Jersey with 18 points, but the Nets dropped their fourth in a row.
Harris was sent to New Jersey a year ago as part of an eight-player deal that brought Kidd to Dallas. Harris has averaged 21.5 points per game this season, but he was coming off a 10-point effort against Houston Tuesday.
A 3-pointer by Kidd touched off a 35-11 run that closed the third period.
