DENVER, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Dirk Nowitzki continued to round into form with a 25-point effort Wednesday, sending Dallas to a 105-95 decision over Denver.

The Mavericks ended a three-game losing streak that followed a stretch in which Dallas had won 11 out of 14.

Nowitzki has struggled this year, having taken four games off while resting a sore knee and working on his conditioning. In his last three appearances, however, he has scored 79 points while making 32-of-52 from the field.

He was one of five Dallas players in double figures, followed by Vince Carter with 17 and both Shawn Marion and Roddy Beaubois with 13.

Denver lost for the fourth time in six games. Al Harrington and Rudy Fernandez both came off the bench to score 17 points.
