Kemba Walker scored eight of his 12 points -- including two 3-pointers -- during his team's 14-2 spurt midway through the second quarter as the Bobcats built a 42-32 lead.
Charlotte's halftime advantage was 54-48 after Dallas finished the second quarter with a 9-2 run.
NOTES: Dallas C Brendan Haywood left with 7:42 remaining in the third quarter with a sprained right knee and did not return. ... Neither team made a move ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle wasn't anticipating any deals, saying before the game, "I didn't think there were going to be any trades so I'm not surprised...and we're fine with it." There were some anxious players in the Dallas locker room earlier this week as the deadline loomed, and Carlisle said, "If (a lack of trade activity) eases anybody's mind, that's great." ... Charlotte F Eduardo Najera was back in the rotation after missing two games with right knee inflammation, scoring four points in 16 minutes.
