Nowitzki's 39 help Mavs end 4-game skid (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Dirk Nowitzki took out all sorts of frustrations on the Utah Jazz, hitting 16 of 20 shots and scoring 39 points to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a 115-108 victory Saturday night. Nowitzki's fire was stoked by Dallas having lost four straight and by his own problems against the Jazz -- as in getting suspended after two of his last three games against them, including last month.
