Mavericks overcome Hassan Whiteside to get Carlisle 600th win

One thing became clear on Friday: Unbelievable as he is, Hassan Whiteside can't do it himself.
The breakout Miami Heat center was beasting once again against the Dallas Mavericks, setting a franchise record with 14 rebounds in the first quarter en route to a 16-point, 24-rebound final tally. He had little in the way of help, leading the team in scoring and nearly outrebounding the rest of his team combined.
A 21-0 Dallas run . . . since Whiteside checked out.

That lack of aid allowed the Mavericks to cruise to an easy 93-72 road victory, the 600th victory of head coach Rick Carlisle's career.

With the win, Carlisle moves to 600-416 in regular season games, a .591 clip. As head coach of the Mavs, his record stands at 319-205, a robust .609 clip.
Carlisle got an unexpected 20-point outburst from a comeback player of his own in Charlie Villanueva, who shot 6-of-11 from long range on his way to the game-high 20-piece. The Mavericks were a ridiculous plus-29 in Villanueva's 23 minutes, with the Heat apparently having no answer for a player averaging 4.9 points.
The Mavericks will take it, as it snaps an ugly four-game losing skid, albeit one that came against incredibly difficult competition. The Heat, meanwhile, have now lost five of their last eight to drop to 20-26 overall.
