Injury bug bites Mavericks again but cavalry off the bench saves the day

For the Dallas Mavericks, the injuries keep stacking up. But so have the wins.

The injury-prone Mavs lost point guard Deron Williams to a sprained left big toe late in the first half of Wednesday’s game against New York. But that didn’t prevent them from defeating the Knicks 103-95 before a sellout crowd of 19,750 at American Airlines Center.

The win was the fifth in the Mavs’ last seven games and improves their record to 16-29. The Mavs also were able to sweep their two-game homestand before heading into Thursday’s 7 p.m. contest at Oklahoma City.

Williams hobbled off the court with just 41.
