The Dallas Mavericks (31 - 17) beat the Miami Heat (20 - 26) 93 - 72 on Friday. Charlie Villanueva led the Mavericks in scoring with 20 points in 23 minutes off the bench to go along with a 29 plus/minus. He scored 10 points in the fourth quarter as part of a 33 - 12 final period against the Heat. Richard Jefferson started for Chandler Parsons, who was out with an illness. Jefferson played 21 minutes and finished with seven points. No starter scored more than 12 points for the Mavs who had dropped four straight games coming in to Friday. The game was tied 60 - 60 going into the fourth quarter, but Miami could n't stop Villanueva, and the Mavs pulled away to win by 21 points. Hassan Whiteside continued to impress. He grabbed a career - high 24 rebounds to go along with 16 points. Over his past three games, he's averaged 15 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocks. The Heat are 6 - 7 in January and will have to continue without one of their veteran leaders the next couple weeks, as Dwyane Wade is expected to be sidelined with a hamstring injury for at least the next two to three weeks. The Heat will travel to Boston to face the Celtics on Sunday. The Mavericks will make the short trip to Orlando for the second game of their back - to - back tilt in Florida.
