DALLAS - Monta Ellis had no question he would play Tuesday night.The Dallas Mavericks guard came back after injuring his left ankle on Sunday. He scored 20 points in 27 minutes, made a game-high four steals and helped hold the Washington Wizards Bradley Beal to 10 points.Dallas won 114-87, handing the Wizards their most lopsided loss of the season.Most guys in this league wouldnt even think about playing two nights later, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. Hes a remarkable athlete and a remarkable guy. To top it off, he gave us a big burst of scoring.Nine of Ellis points came in the final 2:35 of the second quarter, when the Mavericks outscored the Wizards 36-21 for a 63-45 halftime lead. He shot 8 of 15 without playing in the fourth quarter.I was going to play regardless, Ellis said. I just had to ice it. The great thing about it is it didnt swell on me.Chandler Parsons had 14 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 13 despite shooting 2 for 8 from the field, and Rajon Rondo had 11 points and five assists.Off the bench, Richard Jefferson scored a season-high 14 points. Charlie Villanueva also had 14.The Wizards Paul Pierce, like Nowitzki, is in his 17th season.Pierce said, Its not the Dirk of four or five years ago, where he dominates you throughout the game. He still has those moments, but this team is built around depth.Washingtons John Wall had 11 points and eight assists. Kris Humphries also scored 11, and Beal and Marcin Gortat had 10 apiece.Beal made only four of 14 field goal attempts (29 per cent).The key to the game was Ellis defence on Beal, Carlisle said.

Monta really took the challenge.The Mavericks scored 33 points off 23 turnovers, extended their winning streak to three games and ended the Wizards three-game winning streak.Turnovers played the biggest part. When we try to do too much individually, we get ourselves in trouble, Washington coach Randy Wittman said. You cant do it against a good team.
