The buzz coming out of Minnesota is that O.J. Mayo could be a prime summer target for new Timberwolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders. The Mavs would like to keep Mayo, but all indications are that they won't be dragged into any ...

DALLAS - As far as off nights go, it wasn't a good one for the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs' two prime competitors for the West's last playoff seed both won. The Los Angeles Lakers held on for a 120-117 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Utah...

How it happened: The Dallas Mavericks came out smoking in the second quarter and used their depth to cruise to a win over a tired Minnesota Timberwolves team playing the dreaded Daylight Savings back-to-back. Dallas scored the first 14 points of t...

Mavericks forward Shawn Marion will miss his second consecutive game, Sunday night's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, due to a bruised calf. "A couple more days," Marion told reporters when asked after the Mavs' shootaround in Minnesota...

DALLAS -- Raise your hand if you thought Elton Brand was done. You were wrong. Brand admittedly had a tough transition to being a bench player after arriving in Dallas via amnesty waivers and getting off to a slow start as a starter, but he's s...

DALLAS -- This was a glimpse of what the Mavericks hoped their young backcourt would be. Darren Collison and O.J. Mayo, the Mavs' pair of 25-year-old newcomers, pretty much dominated during Monday's 113-98 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. C...

How it happened: Just like Saturday night against the Grizzlies, the Mavericks jumped out to an early lead and cruised to a convincing win against a team playing the butt end of a back-to-back. This wasn't quite as impressive as the Mavs' blowout ...

DALLAS -- Even at a bargain price of $2.1 million via the amnesty waivers, the Mavericks expected much more out of Elton Brand. The former All-Star has a long track record of being a productive NBA player. His current averages of 6.4 points and 5....

DALLAS -- The feel-good vibe buzzing around the Dallas Mavericks last week feels like it was so long ago. This team stinks all the sudden. And that's putting it pretty kindly after the Mavs lost their third game in a row. They followed up their...

How it happened: To put it simply, it was a miserable performance by the Mavericks. They shot the ball poorly. The Mavs shot a season-low 36.3 percent from the floor. They struggled to stop the Timberwolves, who have been hit even harder by inj...

Tough break for people who bought tickets for this game. Most of the marquee attractions will either be wearing a suit while sitting on the Mavs' bench or watching from their couch in Minnesota. No Dirk Nowitzki or Shawn Marion for the Mavs. N...
