The Dallas Mavericks beat the New York Knicks Friday night 105-103, which put qualified them for their franchise record 61st victory. The Mavericks are now the best team in the NBA having won nine games in a row.

Nowitzki passed the 15,000 mark after scoring 30 points in the game. Stephon Marbury of the New York Knicks made his season high with 43 points but it wasn't enough to win the game.

The Knicks got ahead twice in the game but Marbury missed his last shot and the Mavericks won. It seems there is nothing the Mavericks can't do when it comes to getting what they want.
