With this win Mavs snap a three-game losing streak.

Christian Wood led with 28 points, 13 rebounds, and three assists. Dwight Powell and Jaden Hardy both had 22 points, Josh Green had 21 points, and Reggie Bullock had 20 points.
The Dallas Mavericks are 5-0 when Christian Wood scores 28+ points.
Dallas was without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving once again tonight.
The Mavs won the rebound game 52-47 and Wood and Powell did an excellent job down low showing their presence in the paint which is something they have been struggling with all season. The rebound game and points in the paint have been something Dallas comes up short in.
