The Dallas Mavericks (13 - 5) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (0 - 16) 110 - 103 at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday. While the absence of Dirk Nowitzki (DNP-rest) might be looked at as a potential deterrent for the team, the Mavericks' wide array of depth was able to overcome Nowitzki's absence. Six Mavericks scored in double digits. The team's overall effort was lead by Tyson Chandler, who finished with 20 points (7 - 9 FG, 6 - 7 FT) and 13 rebounds. Monta Ellis had 18 points (6 - 14 FG, 6 - 7 FT) and five assists, and Devin Harris contributed 15 points (6 - 13 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT) and four assists. Despite the hard - fought defeat, the 76ers had their fair share of solid contributors. That effort was lead by Michael Carter-Williams who had an 18 - point (4 - 13 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 10 - 12 FT, 16 - assist and 10 - rebound triple - double. Fellow young Philly prospect, K.J. McDaniels, had an absolutely marvelous performance as he had 21 points (8 - 17 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT) and 13 rebounds (10 offensive). The Mavericks will continue their Northern road trip by traveling to Chicago to square off against the Bulls on Tuesday, while Philly will stay at home as they'll play against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.
