The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Spurs by a final score of 104-68 on Thursday night at AmericanAirlines Arena.  

San Antonio was without Tim Duncan, who has been on the shelf since spraining his ankle at Detroit.

``He would've made a difference,'' Stackhouse said, smiling, ``but I don't think he would've made a 40-point difference.''

Dirk Nowitzki was a game-time decision and scored 16 points in just 27 minutes of action.
