DALLAS -- Yet another Dallas injury opened the door for a Charlotte Hornets rally.Kemba Walker scored 19 points, Nicolas Batum had 14 points and 15 rebounds, and the Hornets came back from an 11-point, third-quarter deficit to beat the Mavericks 109-101 on Monday night.Already down three regulars to injury, Dallas lost center Andrew Bogut late in the first quarter to a right knee injury. While the Mavericks didnt think the injury was serious, the Hornets took advantage to dominate the boards, outrebounding the Mavericks 55-35 and scoring 54 points in the paint.Thats a big difference, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said of Boguts absence. Hes always been a terrific basket protector. If you take him out, those other guys are good, but its a different level of rim protection.Marco Belinelli scored 12 of his 16 points in the second half, including the teams first two 3-pointers after the Hornets missed their first 14 from long range. Six Hornets scored in double figures.Jeremy Lamb added 10 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter, including a 3 with 13.9 seconds remaining to hold off a late Dallas run.Harrison Barnes scored 29 points for the Mavericks and Deron Williams had his first double-double of the season with 15 points and 13 assists.It seems like we get someone back and somebody else goes down, said Williams, who had missed eight games of his own due to a calf strain. Its been tough. Wed really like to have Dirk (Nowitzki) out there, and J.J. (Barea). You cant control certain things so weve just got to keep on trucking.After a 15-4 Mavericks run early in the third quarter temporarily opened up a back-and-forth game, the Hornets answered with a 10-1 spurt and the game stayed close into the final minutes.Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle was assessed a technical foul arguing a call and Batum converted the free throw for a 98-91 lead with 4:26 to play, capping a 15-5 Hornets run.After the Hornets opened the lead to 104-95 with 2:01 to play, Dallas scored the next six points and had a chance to get closer, but Cody Zeller blocked Williams shot in the lane with 34 seconds to play and Lamb followed with his 3.Its a tough environment, but we stuck together today, Lamb said. We got down 10, but we kept fighting, and we were able to pull out a win.SIGH OF RELIEFBogut limped off the court with 45 seconds left in the first quarter after a collision with Charlottes Roy Hibbert, grabbing his right knee immediately. He was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game.But Carlisle said initial reports were positive and that the knee was only hyperextended.The X-ray was clean from the information that I got, Carlisle said. Well probably have more information in a day or so. At this point, it appears we dodged a bullet.Bogut was not available for comment after the game.LONG ODDSAfter 16 seasons in a row of finishing .500 or better and making the playoffs in 15 of those seasons, the Mavericks are just 4-16.The last team to make the playoffs after such a poor start was the 2004-05 Bulls, who started 5-15 and finished 47-35 before losing in the first round of the playoffs to Washington.TIP-INSHornets: The game had 18 lead changes and was tied 17 times. .
