Mavs in the hunt for 6th seed in West

Mavs get another big win

The Dallas Mavericks are on a roll as they won another huge game last night against the New Orleans Hornets. The Mavs beat the Hornets 100-92.

With the win the Mavericks now move into the seventh seed in the Western Conference after being the eighth place team for most of the season. The Mavericks were led by Josh Howard who had 25 points and 11 rebounds in the win.

"Everybody that got in the game tonight was crashing the boards and just doing the right things at the right time," Howard said.

With the win the Mavs record is identical to the Hornets who have the six seed in the West, however the Hornets own the tiebreaker with more head to head wins. That can change tomorrow afternoon win the Mavs and Hornets will play again, this time in New Orleans. If the Mavs can get a win they will move into the sixth seed in the Western Conference with only three games left to play in the regular season.
