The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Washington Wizards, 112 - 107, at Verizon Center on Wednesday night. The Mavericks (29 - 38) came into Wednesday's contest with only eight victories over 39 road contests this season, while the Wizards (41 - 26) had prevailed in 26 of their 35 home games. As the old adage goes, "that's why they play the games." Dallas overcame an early 39 - 32 first - quarter deficit to stay close through the next two quarters before outscoring Washington by a 39 - 27 margin in the final 12 minutes. The Mavs did it with stellar shooting, as they tallied a 51 percent success rate from the field and 44 percent mark from three - point range. Their effort was just enough to overcome those of the dynamic duo of John Wall and Bradley Beal, who combined for 50 of the Wizards' 107 points. Harrison Barnes led the way for the Mavs with a near - double - double of 22 points, nine rebounds and two assists. Dirk Nowitzki was close behind him with 20 points, four rebounds and two assists. Seth Curry pitched in with 19 points, one assist and two steals. Nerlens Noel led the bench with 12 points, three rebounds, one assist and one block. Nicolas Brussino stepped up with 11 points, nine boards and two steals in 23 minutes, while Devin Harris was also productive as a reserve with 10 points, one rebound, one assist and one steal. Wall paced the Wizards with 26 points, which he supplemented with 11 assists, one rebound and three steals. Beal was right behind him with 24 points, five dimes and a pair of boards. Bojan Bogdanovic continued his stellar work off the bench with 19 points, three rebounds and one assist. Otto Porter, Jr. posted a 14 - point, 10 - rebound double - double that also included five assists. Marcin Gortat mustered a modest eight points but did haul in 10 rebounds. The Mavericks next head to Philadelphia where they'll take on the Sixers in a Friday night showdown, while the Wizards remain home to tangle with the Chicago Bulls on Friday evening as well.
