 DALLAS (AP) - Dirk Nowitzki's sprained left ankle was mild enough to allow him to play a significant role in the Dallas Mavericks' sixth straight victory. Nowitzki contributed 20 points and 12 rebounds and the Mavericks beat the Los Angeles Clippers 115-83 Friday night.
Corey Maggette had 19 points for the Clippers, who have lost six straight.
Nowitzki sat out the final three quarters of Wednesday night's victory over the Seattle SuperSonics with the ankle injury and the Mavericks feared at the time that Nowitzki would be out for an extended stretch.
