The Dallas Mavericks shoot for their fifth straight win tonight, when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Ford Center.

To the Dallas Mavericks, it has taken an eternity to get to this point, though the team has only played 23 regular season games.

The Dallas Mavericks needed one of Dirk Nowitzki's most prolific nights of the season to earn a third straight win in their most recent game.

Having battled through many nagging injuries at the onset of the season, the Dallas Mavericks have welcomed the month of December as they have seemingly become healthier by the day.

Dirk Nowitzki hit a 10-foot jumper with 1.8 seconds left in overtime, and the Dallas Mavericks continued their dominance over Charlotte with a 98-97 win over the Bobcats on Saturday night.
