42 assists to earn a rare win over
What a difference a week makes. A couple of weeks ago the Montreal Canadiens had put together four straight wins. This past week has been an entirely different story. The Canadiens began their week with a lackluster effort in a disappointing 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils. Last night, the Habs performance reached a new low in a 3-0 shutout loss to Dallas. Yes, Montreal is decimated with injuries but Dallas was also missing some important players. The Stars were without Jamie Benn, Brenden Morrow and Sheldon Souray. It was a game that featured former Habs Mike Ribeiro, Michael Ryder and Stephane Robidas. When all was said and done it was Ribeiro whose star shone the brightest. Ribeiro, who was traded to Dallas over five years ago, continues to haunt the Habs. He scored early in the third to put the Stars up by two. In his first regular season game back at the Bell Centre, Ribeiro was named the first star. He celebrated by raising his arms to the crowd and taking a bow. Canadiens coach Randy Cunneyworth said he didnt want to make any excuses, but mentioned that he had eight players under the weather. Several players, including Tomas Plekanec and Mathieu Darche, are battling the flu. The Habs took a collective sick day and did not practice on Wednesday. They will practice tomorrow and will charter to Washington shortly after. Things dont look good in the Eastern Conference for the Habs. They sit 14th and are seven points out of the eighth and final playoff spot. With only 21 games remaining, time is becoming the Habs worst enemy.

If they play like they did on Tuesday night, they might just make it. Al Jefferson scored 30 points, Anthony Tolliver added 22, and the Bobcats had a franchise-record 42 assists to earn a rare win over the Dallas Mavericks, 114-89 on Tuesday night. "These guys, you can see it in their eyes. Now, were playing for something and trying to reach our goals," Jefferson said. "I think we can have a chance to make a move when we come back from the All-Star break." First, there is the matter of playing the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. The Nets are currently seventh in the East, 1 1/2 games ahead of the Bobcats. "It was really important to get this one and go to Brooklyn and beat a seed ahead of us," Jefferson said. The Bobcats had lost 17 of 18 against the Mavericks, but scored 60 points in the paint and tied a season-high with 12 3-pointers. Charlottes 42 assists on 45 field goals was the highest percentage (.933) in the NBA this season. "We were able to make the right play and knock in some shots," said Josh McRoberts, who had a career-high 13 assists. "We shared the ball pretty well, and it helps when youre making shots." Charlottes relatively easy victory came on the night it was announced that the wife of Bobcats owner Michael Jordan gave birth to the couples identical twin daughters. Jordans spokeswoman Estee Portnoy told The Associated Press on Tuesday night that Yvette Jordan gave birth to Victoria and Ysabel on Sunday in West Palm Beach, Fla. Jordan missed his teams fine performance. "I told them we couldnt lose concentration," Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said. "We had games this year where we were down 16 or 18 points in the third quarter and we came back. In this league it happens all of the time." But there was no comeback for the Mavericks. Dallas Dirk Nowitzki sprained his lefft ankle in the second quarter and was taken to the locker room for observation.dddddddddddd He returned in the second half and finished with 16 points in 25 minutes. The Bobcats went 12 of 24 from beyond the arc, led by Tolliver, who was 5 of 6. Jefferson was 14 of 23 from the field and reached the 20-point plateau for the 14th time in 15 games. He has averaged 27 points per game during that span. Charlotte built a 58-44 lead at halftime behind 16 points each from Jefferson and Tolliver. Gerald Henderson added 15 points, and Bismack Biyombo scored 10 points on 5 of 5 shooting and blocked a 3-point attempt by Vince Carter. Nowitzki had been 16-0 against the Bobcats while averaging 26.1 points per game. But he had just two points in 10 minutes of action in the first half before rolling his ankle when he landed on McRoberts foot. Nowitzki said he will play Wednesday night at Indiana. He wasnt quite sure what went wrong in a game that was never close in the second half. "They really got whatever they wanted," Nowitzki said. "Jefferson on the block scored. When we doubled, he passed out and they shot the ball well. They broke us down on some penetrations. They had 40-something assists, which is unheard of. "Every time there was a breakdown defensively, and they made us pay all night long." Dallas primary problem was stopping Jefferson in the paint. Playing at the top of his game, the 10-year NBA veteran scored almost at will with a series of low post moves, pump fakes and up-and-under moves. And when he wasnt doing that he was moving the ball and helping create shots for his teammates. NOTES: It wasnt all good news for the Bobcats as point guard Kemba Walker left the game with tightness in his Achilles in the second half and didnt return. He is day-to-day. ...
