Mavs and Jazz know the feeling

The two teams squaring off at American Airlines Center tonight know a thing or two about what the other is going through. Both the Mavs and Jazz have lost to the Spurs without Tim Duncan in San Antonio this week. Dallas had their setback back Wednesday night and Utah fell last night.

Both had a chance to pull it out in the fourth quarter. Both experienced a healthy dose of Manu Ginobili. Very healthy. The Argentine torched Dallas for a season-high 37 points. He matched that against Utah.

The Jazz are 13-7 and leading the Northwest Division. The Mavs sit 12-8 and trail those Spurs and New Orleans in the Southwest.
