CHICAGO - Normally, taking 35 shots to score 38 points is not a production level that any NBA coach would embrace. Steve Grogan Jersey .But no one in the Dallas Mavericks locker room had a problem with Monta Ellis line in the boxscore Tuesday night.His shooting numbers were a little unusual, but every time we needed a big shot or a big play, he made it, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said.Ellis hit three free throws with 1.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter to tie it, then made his only 3-point shot of the game for a go-ahead basket in the second overtime that lifted the Mavericks past the Chicago Bulls 132-129.Ellis finished with 38 points, including his trio of free throws to make it 108-all. He was fouled by the Bulls Kirk Hinrich soon after crossing half-court, and kept the Mavs in the game.I saw out of the corner of my eye that he was about to do it, so I went into shooting mode, Ellis said. He ended up grabbing me and they called a foul.Because the Mavericks had no timeouts at the end of regulation, the Bulls wanted to foul intentionally — just not in that spot.That was my fault, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. I wasnt real clear on where we wanted the foul. With them having no timeouts, we wanted to foul in the backcourt. It gets real tricky when hes taking it to a scoring area and the guys facing you.Ellis, though, still had to make the free throws.One of the hardest things in basketball is to stand up there and make three consecutive free throws with basically the game on the line and little or no time left, Carlisle said. He stayed in his routine and just trusted it.Chicagos Derrick Rose banked in a 3-pointer at the overtime buzzer to force double OT.Ellis 3 put the Mavericks up 130-129, and Chandler Parsons added two foul shots. Rose missed a 3-point try as time expired.Dirk Nowitzki added 22 despite shooting just 8 for 22 as Dallas won its fourth in row.Pau Gasol led the Bulls with 29 points and 14 rebounds. Jimmy Butler had 23 points, Mike Dunleavy 20 and Rose 18.The Bulls had won two in a row. They dropped to 2-4 at the United Center in their first home game since Nov. 15 following a seven-game road trip.Of course, we want to win at home, but were going to get things clicking, Rose said. Were not holding our heads down. Its just a learning experience.Ellis, who was 16 of 35 from the field and 5 for 5 from the free-throw line, was asked if it was fun to hoist that many shots.If you come out with the win, yes, he said.TIP-INSMavericks: One of the reasons for the fast start has been the play of Tyson Chandler, who was reacquired during the off-season from the New York Knicks. Chandler was averaging 11.3 points and 11.3 rebounds.He brings a lot of energy to the team, Carlisle said. Hes a better player than he was the last time he was here, because hes refined some of his skills, hes more knowledgeable, because hes been with another franchise and played in a lot of big games the last three years.Bulls: Doug McDermont missed his first game of the season with a sore right knee. The rookie said the knee swelled up during the plane ride back to Chicago on Sunday following the conclusion of the seven-game road trip. If I feel better tomorrow, Ill play. Its nothing serious at all. ... Taj Gibson missed his fifth straight game with a sprained left ankle. Although he is listed as day-to-day, hes unlikely to play Wednesday at Charlotte because he hasnt done any work with the team.UP NEXTThe Mavericks are at the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.The Bulls are back on the road Wednesday for a game against the Hornets.BACK-TO-BACKSRose didnt finish consecutive games until Sunday at Brooklyn. After missing six games and parts of others with minor leg injuries, he now has completed three straight and the Bulls plan to play him Wednesday at Charlotte despite a season-high 36 1/2 minutes on Tuesday. Gasol (50 minutes) and Joakim Noah (36) also are expected to play after dealing with injuries recently.I dont see why not, Thibodeau said when asked about the trio. Well see how they feel tomorrow.

The 23-year-old Wilson announced his retirement on Monday because of neck and back injuries. "I feel for him," said quarterback Eli Manning, whose brother Cooper had his football career end because of a similar injury at the University of Mississippi. And his other older brother, Peyton, overcame spinal fusion surgery two years ago. "Its a tough situation, but it could have been a lot worse. Its a little bit scary, but he made the right decision by walking away. Were all going to miss him, because he was going to be a big part of our offence." And one Giants player, in particular, could relate to Wilsons situation. Linebacker Jameel McClain, signed as a free agent from Baltimore in the off-season, suffered a similar injury to the one that ended Wilsons career when McClain was with the Ravens in 2012. McClain suffered a bruised spinal cord and aggravated a long-standing case of spinal stenosis. At the time, McClain was told by Ravens doctors that he would never play football ever again. After the injury, McClain was released by the Ravens and signed by the Giants. He is listed on the depth chart as their starting middle linebacker, with projected starter Jon Beason still recovering from a broken foot suffered in minicamp in June. "I can understand to a certain extent," McClain said. "I can relate because of the circumstances and having the same options. I really didnt know much about my injury. The situation is a little different, but I had the same numbness and tingling my neck, hands and feet. After I first came here and we met each other, I talked to David and told him about my situation." McClain said that he was born with a slight case of spinal stenosis. "What happened to David felt so real to me," said McClain, who started 10 games for the Ravens last season before getting hurt, and had 52 tackles and a forced fumble. "I was told that I would never play again," he said. "David is a young man with a lot of talent. Its a wild situation how this happened." McClain did not have surgery to correct his problem. "I spent three months, had a test, waited another three months, had another test," McClain said. "I dont know if it was toughness or ignorance, but I didnt know much about it to be scared. I had to confront my situation and have been moving in the right direction." McClain has not had to endure another burner or stinger as Wilson had last Tuesday. John Hannah Jersey. . "Sometimes, you have to put your future in the hands of nature and God," McClain said. "Playing again was something I just needed to do in time. I was focused on coming right back. I havent had another stinger in a long while and I dont plan on having another." Still, McClain feels bad for Wilson. "My thoughts and prayers are with him 100 per cent," McClain said. Several of Wilsons teammates expressed confidence that the team has depth at the position. "He always came out with a smile on his face," running back Peyton Hillis said. "The whole week, weve been like that. We still think we have a strong running back group. We have a group of guys who can produce. We have power backs who can get yardage when we need it. But make no bones about it. David Wilson will be missed." Coach Tom Coughlin started the teams early morning meeting on Tuesday by talking about Wilson. "He said, Once a Giant, always a Giant," Coughlin said. "He didnt want pity and I think that was a key. I related my feelings about David and his attitude. He actually helped me to understand it all better." Coughlin said that he had his concerns about Wilson, especially having the spinal fusion surgery last January. "There was always the possibility that he couldnt return," Coughlin said. "We were very concerned and very aware." But the Giants moved on without the former first-round pick. "Our running backs all did a good job," Coughlin said about the teams rushing attack in a 17-13 win against Buffalo in the Hall of Fame game on Sunday night. Rookie Andre Williams was the most impressive of the Giants rushers. The fourth-round pick from Boston College gained 48 yards on seven carries and had a touchdown against Buffalo. "Im not surprised at all," Coughlin said of Williams performance. "Its what we expected. Thats why we drafted him."
