9-3: Dirk goes for his # as Mavs beat Spurs

[iella]

AP article opens:

DALLAS (AP) -- Dirk Nowitzki scored 11 of his season-high 41 points in overtime and the short-handed Dallas Mavericks held on to beat the injury-depleted San Antonio Spurs 99-94 on Wednesday night.

I really shouldn't be surprised by now, but I still find myself astounded. Nevermind the fact that the Mavs were missing THREE STARTERS, just try to play it off as the Spurs losing because they were missing Parker and Ginobili got injured...

don't be paranoid. The headline is about Dirk's 41 points. They go on to detail the accomplishments of 3 Dallas players and the Dallas injuries before SA's.
