Vince Carter, coming off the bench for the Mavericks, has scored 29 points in just 56 minutes over the last three games.

“It appears that we have something good going there,” said Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle.

Carter has been productive, particularly late in games.

“I still have a starter’s mentality,” said Carter. “That’s how I approach it, and when I say that, I mean that as being aggressive, playing as if you’re a starter. Be aggressive and go out there and make plays, whether it’s getting the shot for someone else or knocking down the shot.”
