    The Dallas Mavericks don't mind facing hot teams.

    They already had halted winning streaks by Boston (five games), New Orleans (eight games), Oklahoma City (five games) and San Antonio (12 games).

    Add Utah to that list after Dirk Nowitzki scored 26 points Friday night on 12-of-18 shooting in a 93-81 victory that ended the Jazz's winning streak at seven.

    "We feel we can beat anybody anywhere," said Dallas forward Caron Butler, who added 16 points as Dallas improved to 15-4. "We are playing great basketball. The environment in that locker room is second to none."

    Paul Millsap led Utah with 21 points, and Al Jefferson had 18 points and eight rebounds.
