DALLAS - It sure appeared a night of rest did Dirk Nowitzki some good when he scored the first 10 Dallas points without missing a shot. Dan Feeney Jersey .The 36-year-old forward didnt quite maintain that pace in his return to the lineup, but the early cushion was enough to keep the Mavericks ahead throughout in a quick rematch with Denver.Nowitzki scored 25 points two days after sitting in the Mile High City, and the Mavericks split a home-and-home set against the Nuggets with a 97-89 victory Friday night.He looked good, said Chandler Parsons, whose 18 points included a thunderous dunk over J.J. Hickson. He still got a little gassed out there. Obviously, I think not playing and resting and just getting some cardio in was beneficial for him.Tyson Chandler and Rajon Rondo were the other two Dallas starters who sat out the second night of a back-to-back on Wednesday, and their return helped as well.Chandler, who has been nursing a sore ankle, had his 17th double-double with 11 points and 16 rebounds.Rondo, slowed by a mild Achilles issue, scored just two points but had eight assists and nine rebounds while helping hold Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson to 11 points after he scored 29 in the Denver win on Wednesday.The starting five was back together, and the good start kind of carried us through, said Nowitzki, who was 8 of 18 from the field, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range, with nine rebounds.Arron Afflalo scored 16 to lead the Nuggets, who had to withstand a rally to beat the travel-weary and short-handed Mavericks at home after four nights off. Denvers five-game winning streak, tied for a season high, ended in the first of four games in five nights.The Nuggets were outscored 10-2 to start the game and 11-2 coming out of halftime but stayed close throughout. Denver never led, though, and couldnt get closer than a six-point deficit to start the fourth quarter.Free throws were partially to blame, with the Nuggets making just 12 of 25.The ball wasnt going in the rim either from the free throw or from the field, Lawson said after the Nuggets shot 37 per cent in the first half and 41 per cent for the game. We got the shots we wanted. Nobody was forcing shots or anything. They just didnt fall.___TIP-INSNuggets: Lawson didnt get his first field goal until banking in a 3-pointer late in the third quarter. He did have 12 assists, though. ... Hickson had 13 points and a season-high 14 rebounds.Mavericks: Nowitzki moved into 22nd place on the career list for 3-pointers, passing Mike Bibbys total of 1,517. ... In their loss to Denver on Wednesday, the Mavericks had eight players in double figures for the third time this season, a first for the franchise.THUNDER DUNKSParsons one-handed slam over Hickson brought his teammates off the bench in the third quarter after Wilson Chandler made a similar move on Tyson Chandler in the first half for Denver. Parsons later ended up near Nuggets coach Brian Shaw and Hickson during a break in the action.Coach Shaw was like, Youre going to let him do that to you? Parsons said. I was like, Ill sign the poster and tapped (Hickson) on the butt. Wilson got Tyson bad, though. So I guess were even.OLD TEAM AGAINJameer Nelson, who started the season with the Mavericks, finished with 14 points before fouling out late in his debut for the Nuggets.Nelson was playing Dallas for the second time in two weeks, and with a second different team. The first was with Boston after he was included in the Rondo trade. The Nuggets got him this week in a deal that sent Nate Robinson to the Celtics.Nelson scored in double figures for the first time since Dec. 9, when he had 18 points against Memphis while still with Dallas.UP NEXTNuggets: Home against Minnesota on Saturday.Mavericks: At Memphis on Monday.

Just blew it at the end.Its frustrating to get to 57 minutes or so and blow it.Williams tied the game on the power play with 2:07 left in regulation with his ninth of the season and first in eight games on a great shot over Millers shoulder before Stoll buried the winner — his fourth of the campaign and first in 13 — with 1:14 to go.We gritted it out and sometimes at the end of the game you look and say All right, that was justice because I feel we dominated the game, said Williams. We had the better opportunities and we were able to show some resiliency, some resolve and not give up.Dwight King had the other goal for Los Angeles (19-12-8), which got 14 saves from Jonathan Quick.Losings disappointing, but we didnt play the way we wanted to. Thats more disappointing, said Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins, whose team was outshot 40-16. I think if you play the way you want to and you lose ... that happens sometimes. We didnt play the way we needed to play.Radim Vrbata, with a goal and an assist, and Alexandre Burrows scored for Vancouver (21-12-3), which was only in the game thanks to some key saves from Miller in a 37-save performance.We stopped playing. Being up 2-0, I dont know if we felt comfortable or what it was but it wasnt good enough, said Canucks captain Henrik Sedin. You cant expect to win when you get outshot 40 to something. Its not good enough. We know that.The Canucks have been outshot 103-51 in their last three, including that win in San Jose and a 2-1 overtime loss in Anaheim against the Ducks. Theres going to be stretches like that, Miller said of the lopsided shot margin. Well clean it up. Well get better. Its not always neat, tidy and clean during the season. Youre going to have disappointments. Unfortunately tonight we couldnt at least get a point out of it. Thats pretty frustrating.The Canucks carried a 2-1 lead into the third despite being outshot 30-10 through two periods, and Miller had to be sharp again five minutes into the final period on a shot off the stick of Stoll on a 3-on-2 rush.It looked like Vancouver was going to hold and get off to a winning start in 2015 before Williams and Stoll scored in quick succession to turn the game on its head as the Kings improved to 5-8-6 on the road and leapfrogged the Canucks in the Pacific Diivision standings. Junior Seau Jersey. It was nice to get the two points and not give them any, said Stoll. Good road game by everybody and hopefully we can use this as a little springboard for road games and get our road record going. It feels good.The Canucks penalty killing unit had been lights out in recent weeks before defenceman Ryan Stanton took a hooking penalty with under four minutes to go that led to Williams goal.Its definitely tough. I dont think we had our best effort tonight, but to let it slip away at the end there definitely hurts, said Stanton. I dont think we moved our feet much tonight. Its quite the difference from the San Jose game the other night.Vancouver was up 1-0 after the first and doubled that lead at 3:39 of the second when Vrbata buried his 15th of the season and second in as many games over Quicks blocker on one of the Canucks two shots in the period.Los Angeles would direct 14 pucks on Miller in the middle period and finally got on the board when King chipped home his own rebound at 14:39 for his fifth goal of the season.Earlier in the period, the Kings hit their second post of the night when Anze Kopitar found iron on a Los Angeles power play.We got out to a lead but we sat back all game. I think they pretty much had control of that game for the most part, said Canucks forward Brad Richardson. In the end you still should have that win — pretty disappointing.In those games youve got to find a way to get a point. Thats what teams do. Thats a huge point, two we should have had and we lost them both.Vancouver was just 2-9-3 against California teams last season — one of the big reasons the club missed the playoffs for the first time in six years — and are 3-2-2 this campaign through eight games.Im sure theyre frustrated because they had a 2-0 lead, said Kings head coach Darryl Sutter. But thats how the division is.Its so close. It comes down to a big play, a bad goal or something almost every night.The Canucks opened the scoring at 12:18 of the first period on the power play when Burrows poked a loose puck past Quick for his ninth of the season.Prior to that breakthrough there were a number of chances at both ends of the ice, with Tanner Pearson ringing a shot off the post behind Miller for Los Angeles less than two minutes in before Quick stoned Richardson moments later.Theyre a good hockey team. They played hard, said Desjardins. For whatever reason we didnt have our jump. Youve got to think if its one guy then maybe its a guy, but I think it was the team. Maybe we didnt prepare quite right but we werent good as a team.Notes: Los Angeles downed Vancouver 5-1 on Nov. 8 at Staples Center. The teams meet three more times this season. ... The Canucks continue their five-game homestand Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings, while the Kings open a season-high seven-game homestand against the Nashville Predators.
