Game notes
Mavericks G-F Jerry Stackhouse sang the National Anthem, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd and hugs from teammates. ...Stackhouse had missed the previous four games due to a sore right hand. ...Dallas G Marquis Daniels sat out with a sore left ankle, and coach Don Nelson said Daniels could miss a few more games. ...Boston's Ricky Davis argued a call with 6:51 left and was ejected. ...Shawn Bradley of the Mavericks was ejected with 5:18 left for a flagrant foul when he threw an elbow at Justin Reed of the Celtics, and Stackhouse was ejected in the final minute after collecting his second technical. ...The teams combined for nine technicals and two flagrant fouls. "With all the technicals, it wasn't a pretty game in the second half," said Mavericks assistant coach Avery Johnson.
