Minnesota, in contrast, went a poor 2-of-15 on 3-point tries and shot just 34.8 percent overall. It felt like we were playing with deflated balls tonight, Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders joked in reference to the controversy surrounding the New England Patriots recent win in the AFC Championship Game. We couldnt shoot at all tonight. Dirk Nowitzki added 16 points and nine rebounds in Dallas third consecutive victory, which improved them to 16-7 on the road. We have a veteran team.

A pair of Devin Harris triples closed out an 8-2 Dallas run to begin the frame and the Mavs finished the quarter on a tear, outscoring the Timberwolves by a 19-6 count over the final 5 1/2 minutes. Parsons accounted for 10 of the first 12 points of the surge, the last three on a long jumper that extended the lead to 52-34 with 3:07 to go in the half. Young hit a jumper on the other end, but five straight points from Dallas Al- Farouq Aminu had the Mavericks up by 21 just moments later. Theyre an offensive juggernaut, Saunders said of Dallas. I call it popcorn basketball and the basketball is popping all around. Thats what weve got to get to down the road. Parsons had 19 points by the break, 13 of which came in the second quarter. Minnesota got as close as 62-45 following a Robbie Hummel 3-pointer with 7:35 left in the third quarter, but Parsons sank another triple and Nowitzki finished an 8-0 spurt with a trey to increase the margin to 25 points.
