DALLAS (AP)\u2014Dirk Nowitzki<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 30 points and 11 rebounds, Jason Terry<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> added
\n18 points and the Mavericks rallied in the fourth quarter for a 104-96 victory
\nover the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> on Thursday night, giving Dallas 50 wins for the
\n11th straight season.<\/p>\n

Shawn Marion<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> added 17 points and Peja Stojakovic<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 16 to help the
\nMavericks win for the third time in four games.<\/p>\n

Anthony Randolph<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had a career-high 31 points with 11 rebounds for the
\nTimberwolves, who\u2019ve lost their last five games and are without injured All-Star
\nforward Kevin Love<\/a>(notes)<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Randolph made his first start of the season in place of Love. Randolph,
\nacquired from the Knicks in a three-team trade on Feb. 22, had a 23-point first
\nhalf, 17 in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Dallas was in front by as many as eight in the third quarter, but the
\nTimberwolves came back to grab a 95-93 lead with 3:17 to play on Wayne
\nEllington\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> 22-footer.<\/p>\n

Tyson Chandler\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> three-point play with 2:38 left put Dallas back in front,
\n96-95.<\/p>\n

Jonny Flynn<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> hit a layup with 1:17 remaining to pull Minnesota to 98-96, but
\nTerry\u2019s 3-pointer with 55.6 seconds left gave Dallas some breathing room at
\n101-96.<\/p>\n

Marion stole Flynn\u2019s pass, and Nowitzki hit two free throws with 43.5
\nseconds to play for a 103-96 advantage to ice the victory.<\/p>\n

The Mavs went on an 11-3 spurt in the third quarter fueled by Nowitzki\u2019s
\neight straight points, expanding a two-point halftime lead to 62-54.<\/p>\n

Dallas was in front 76-72 entering the final quarter.<\/p>\n

Minnesota led after one, 23-17, with Dallas going 1 for 11 from 3-point
\nrange in the opening period.<\/p>\n

Stojakovic came off the bench to score seven points during a 13-4
\nsecond-quarter run, and the Mavs held a slender 49-47 edge at the break.<\/p>\n

Before the game, Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis said there\u2019s a chance Love
\ncould miss the rest of the season with a strained left groin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an outside chance, I don\u2019t know how great that chance is,\u201d
\nRambis said. \u201cObviously, with hamstring or groin injuries, you want to be
\ncautious with them because they can linger for a long period of time, and we
\ndon\u2019t want that to happen with Kevin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Love, averaging 20.3 points and an NBA-best 15.4 rebounds per game, didn\u2019t
\ntravel with the team after sustaining the injury in Minnesota\u2019s previous game, a
\n127-95 home loss to Sacramento on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Notes: Randolph\u2019s previous career high was 28 points against Orlando on Dec.
\n5, 2009. \u2026 Marion started after missing the previous game with a sprained
\nright wrist. \u2026 The Mavericks have won 21 of the last 23 meetings with the
\nTimberwolves. \u2026 Minnesota is 5-31 on the road.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
