PHOENIX, Ariz. — Playing
as if each game is their last, the
Dallas Mavericks are setting a lot
of firsts.
The Mavericks, who beat
Portland on the Trail Blazers’
own court for the first time in
history Sunday, defeated the
Phoenix Suns 112-100 Tuesday
night to extend their club record
for winning on the road to five
straight games.
The victory also put Dallas at
24-24 on the season, the first
time it has been at .500 since ear
ly December.
“Our practices are fierce,”
said Dallas coach Dick Motta. “I
tell the players they should play
every game like it’s their last
game. We might not win, but it
will be a good game.”
Dallas outscored Phoenix 20-
8 in the last four minutes Tues
day to get its 1 1 th victory in the
last 14 outings. Jay Vincent led
the surge, scoring 12 of his 22
points in the closing minutes.
“We did the right thing at the
right time,” said Mark Aguirre,
who led the Mavericks with 28
points. “They were used to us

jumper.”
Vincent gave the credit to
Aguirre.
“Mark is on a roll,” he said,
adding, “We are playing well
together.”
Phoenix coach John MacLeod
said Dallas “did a good job
throughout the ball game.”
“They did an excellent job on
the offensive boards, especially
in the second half,” MacLeod
said. “They just seemed to be a
step ahead of us tonight.”
Phoenix guard Walter Davis,
who led the Suns with 21 points,
said, “They (the Mavericks)
were able to control the boards
in the second half and they
made their shots at the end,
while we just couldn’t connect.”
MacLeod said two players in
Suns’ uniforms for the first time,
rookie Charles Pittman and cen
ter James Edwards, played only
sparingly because they were
“unfamiliar” with the Suns’
offense. Pittman and Edwards
each played three minutes in the
first half.
After the 29th tie of the game,
at 92-92, with 4:10 remaining,
Dallas went ahead to stay on a
baseline jumper by Vincent.
The Suns closed within one on
two occasions after that, but Vin
cent and Brad Davis combined
for eight straight Dallas points
during a span of 1:13 that put
the Mavericks in command 106-
97 with 38 seconds left.
Behind Aguirre and Vincent,
Rolando Blackman had 18
points and Brad Davis 13 for the
Mavericks.
Larry Nance added 19 points
and Maurice Lucas had 18
points and 16 rebounds for
Phoenix.
