Here are our second-chance points we want to make about the Mavericks' 112-92 victory over Denver on Monday night.

Feed the beast: Wesley Matthews has been a terror to opponents lately at both ends of the floor. He's averaged 18.9 points in his past 15 games and shot 47.3 percent from 3-point range, all the while playing his usual hard-nosed defense, usually against the other team's best offensive player. "He's doing a lot of things for us right now," coach Rick Carlisle said. Moreover, his teammates have done a wonderful job of setting up Matthews for 3-point shots.
