MILWAUKEE -- With the temperature hovering at eight degrees outside Tuesday night, it took awhile for the Mavericks to warm up.

But once they did, the Milwaukee Bucks found out the cold-hard facts on why the Mavs are the hottest team in the NBA.

With Dirk Nowitzki having the hot hand, the Mavs rallied from a 16-point deficit, ended the game on an 11-1 run and held off the Bucks 99-93 at the Bradley Center. Nowitzki scored 38 points and added 11 rebounds and eight assists in an MVP-type performance.
