(By JAIME ARON From the Associated Press) - With a bunch of versatile veterans, the Dallas Mavericks figure they can play any style of game and with any configuration of their lineup. That means they even like their chances against, say, LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal on a night when Dirk Nowitzki is in street clothes. Seem silly? Not after the Nowitzki-less Mavs beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 102-95 Sunday night. Tim Thomas replaced Nowitzki in the starting lineup and did a nice impression with 22 points, and six others scored at least eight points. But it was on defense where Dallas really did a number on the Cavs. James scored only two of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, and O’Neal made only one basket all game. Mo Williams scored just eight points as Cleveland ended a five-game winning streak and a four-game winning streak over the Mavericks.

Gerald Wallace was a late scratch because of a severe headache, and Stephen Jackson limped off midway through the third quarter with lower back spasms.
