The Mavericks - who are 31-2 since Dec. 13 - beat Miami 112-100 on Thursday in the opener of the homestand for their 10th straight win overall and 18th in a row at home, extending the new franchise record.   댈러스(45-9)는 홈 3연전 중이다. 매버릭슨 - 작년 12월 13일까지 31승 2패 - 목요일에 마이애미를 112-100으로 물리치고 홈 10연승을 기록했다, ~.   Dirk Nowitzki had 31 points and 11 rebounds to help the Mavericks become just the fourth team in NBA history to have three winning streaks of at least 10 games in the same season. Dallas led by as many as 32 points in the fourth quarter and swept the two-game season series with the Heat, exacting some revenge for its NBA finals loss last June.   덕 노비츠키가 31득점에 11리바운드를 기록했다. ~.   "Our first three quarters was some of the best basketball we have played all year," Dallas coach Avery Johnson said. "We were vibrant and energized."   One of the few concerns for the Mavericks was the absence of All-Star Josh Howard in the fourth quarter. He landed on the foot of Miami's Jason Kapono and sprained his right ankle, though Johnson didn't seem overly concerned about his status for Saturday.   "He should be OK. It is not one of the worst ones we have seen," the Mavericks coach said of Howard, averaging 19.1 points and 7.2 rebounds. "That was the second or third time that has happened to him this year, so we will have to look out for that kind of stuff."   Even if Howard can't go, Dallas may not have problems with either Denver or Atlanta, which it faces Monday.   The Mavericks - who are 25-3 at American Airlines Center this season - have won both meetings with the Nuggets this season and seven of the last eight between the teams. Dallas is 23-6 overall against Denver since the start of the decade and has won 17 of its last 18 at home against the Nuggets. The Mavericks have also won 12 of 15 against the Hawks, including a 7-1 record in Dallas.   매버릭스는 - 이번 시즌 아메리칸 에어라인스 센터에서 25승 3패 - 최근 너게츠와의 8만 대결에서 7번 이기고 있다. 너게츠를 상대로 홈에서 18번 가운데 17번을 승리해왔다. ~.   The Nuggets (26-27) limp into American Airlines Center after being routed in their last two contests, despite deceptive final scores. Denver trailed by 31 points entering the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 95-80 loss to San Antonio, then lost 114-104 to Utah on Friday night in a game it trailed by as many as 21 points in the fourth.   너게츠(26-27)는 ~. 덴버는 화요일에 샌안토니오에 80-95로 졌고, 금요일 밤에는 유타에 21점차로 끌려가다 결국 104-114로 패하고 말았다.   Denver - which has lost three straight - is just 2-6 with both Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson in the lineup. Anthony had 36 against the Jazz while Iverson rebounded from a season-low nine points against the Spurs to score 33, but it wasn't enough for the Nuggets, who played their first game without J.R. Smith.   덴버는 - 3연패 - 카멜로 앤소니와 앨런 아이버슨이 함께 뛰었을 때 2승 6패 했다. 앤소니가 재즈전에서 36득점 했고 아이버슨은 지난 스퍼스전에서 시즌 최저인 9득점을 했다가 33득점을 기록했다, J. R. 스미스가 (부상으로) 빠진 첫 게임이었다.   Denver's long-distance threat, Smith underwent surgery on Wednesday after tearing cartilage in his left knee against San Antonio and will be out for a month.   "We don't have no chemistry right now," Anthony said. "We're just trying to get everybody on the same page. It seems like everybody's in their own world right now. The chemistry off the court is very great, I can tell you that. That's why I don't understand why the chemistry on the court is not as great."   The Nuggets have lost five of their last seven road games. They visit Memphis on Monday.   너게츠는 최근 7번의 어웨이 게임에서 5번을 졌다. 오는 월요일에는 멤피스를 만난다.
