They expanded the margin to a season-high 28 points in the third quarter on the way to their second win in three games since a 31-point home loss to Sacramento that prompted a team meeting.Thats how were supposed to play, said Matthews, who finished a point shy of the season high he reached in three of the previous five games.

Barea (left calf strain).We wont go away, said second-year player Justin Anderson, who provided a spark with 11 points and six rebounds. We are not going to get down. We are going to continue to build off this.Matthews was 10 of 14 from the field and hit his first five 3-point attempts before finishing 5 of 7. He even made long-range shots that didnt count, hitting a desperation shot from about 30 feet after a shot-clock buzzer in the fourth quarter.It was the third game in four nights for the Mavericks, but two were at home and all three in Texas. And they showed plenty of energy, taking a 10-2 lead in the first five minutes and never trailing.ANOTHER CAREER NIGHTUndrafted Dallas rookie Dorian Finney-Smith had career highs in points and rebounds for the second straight home game, finishing with 13 points and nine boards three nights after getting 12 and eight in a win over Indiana.QUIET NIGHT FOR LOCALSIt was a quiet night for Mudiay, who played high school basketball in the area, and Dallas high school product Darrell Arthur.
