(the following from NBA.com)
THE STAT: The Mavs' Collison, Kaman and Wright combined to score 47 points off the bench on just 30 shots from the floor.
TURNING POINT: The Mavericks whipped the sluggish Suns, 23-4, to start the second half and take a 63-48 lead. During the nearly nine-minute span, Kaman lit up Marcin Gortat while -- at the other end -- the Suns' Michael Beasley missed shots. The Suns managed to tie the game late, but never again led.
HOT: Wright shot 8-for-12.
NOT: Gortat shot 1-for-8. He drew boos when he failed to convert what appeared to be an easy lob-and-layup attempt.
UP NEXT: For the Mavericks, Saturday @ Houston, Monday vs. Sacramento and Wednesday @ Boston.
