  • Nowitzki has 29 of 40 in 4th, Mavs rally (AP)

    Utah Jazz center Mehmet Okur(notes), left, from Turkey defends against Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki(notes) (41) from Germany as he drives to the basket in the second half of an NBA basketball game in Dallas, Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2009. The Mavericks won 96-85.

    The Dallas Mavericks' offense barely had a pulse for most of three quarters. Then Dirk Nowitzki decided to take control. Nowitzki scored a club-record 29 of his 40 points during a frantic fourth-quarter comeback and the Mavericks beat the Utah Jazz 96-85 on Tuesday night. Nowitzki broke the franchise record of 24 points in any quarter set by Mark Aguirre against Denver on March 24, 1984.

  • Tigers send Tribe to 11th straight loss (AP)

    Detroit Tigers closer Fernando Rodney(notes) watches the ball during a two-run home run by Cleveland Indians' Shin-Soo Choo(notes) in the ninth inning of a baseball game on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2009, at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

    Although Justin Verlander and Tigers manager Jim Leyland don't always agree on pitching philosophy, they were both pleased with his latest effort. Verlander (17-9) struck out 11 in seven innings and Carlos Guillen had three hits and an RBI in Detroit's 6-5 win over Cleveland on Thursday, pushing the Indians within one loss of matching a franchise record for futility.
