Regular Season Round 22: Washington W. - Dallas M. 102-105

Date: November 19, 2014
Guard Monta Ellis scored 24 of 34 points in the first half and the Dallas Mavericks handed the Washington Wizards their first home loss of the season with a 105-102 victory on Wednesday night. Forward Brandan Wright and guard J.J Barea each scored 14 points for the Mavericks (9-3). The highest scoring team in the league has won six straight and nine in a row over the Wizards. Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki had an injury scare but finished the game and scored 13 points. Bradley Beal, the Wizards' leading scorer in the playoffs last season, scored 21 points in 26 minutes in his season debut. The wing guard underwent left wrist surgery on Oct. 12 after suffering an injury against the Charlotte Hornets during Washington's third preseason game. Forward Paul Pierce and center Marcin Gortat each had 17 points for the Wizards (7-3). Washington had won its first four home games. The teams traded one scoring play after another during the fourth quarter as the lead changed hands 11 times during a 5:35 stretch. Forward Otto Porter and Beal hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put Washington ahead 85-84 lead with 7:58 remaining, starting the back-and-forth action. As Beal's shot went through the basket, Nowitzki headed toward the rim. He attempted to avoid a collision and in the process went down with an apparent left leg injury without contact. The 36-year-old limped off and went to the locker room but returned with 3:27 remaining with a taped left ankle. Barea's jumper put Dallas up for good at 96-95 with 2:37. After an empty possession for Washington, the point guard drained a 3-pointer. Nowitzki also drained a shot from beyond the arc for a 102-97 lead with 1:20 left. Guard John Wall had 11 points and 11 assists for the Wizards but was 5 of 17 from the field. He missed a potential tying 3-pointer with 26.9 seconds remaining. Dallas hit three of four free throws inside the final 18 seconds and 25 of 29 overall. The Mavericks led 54-53 at halftime and 76-73 after three quarters. Dallas has won 20 of 25 against the Wizards and six straight in Washington. Ellis sizzled from the start, sinking his first five shots and six of seven in the first quarter for 18 points, including a stretch of 12 straight for Dallas. His teammates went 1 of 12 for five points in the quarter and 10 of 30 in the first half. Courtesy of: wptz.com
