DALLAS — Top scorer Dirk Nowitzki was struggling, and the Dallas Mavericks needed points from other sources.

Jason Kidd, Caron Butler, rookie Roddy Beaubois and Shawn Marion picked up the slack.

Kidd had 20 points and nine assists, hitting five of eight from three-point range, and the Mavericks recovered from a lethargic start to match the NBA’s longest winning streak this season with their 13th straight victory, 96-87 over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday night.

Butler and Beaubois each added 16 points and Marion had 14 points and 13 rebounds, helping the Mavericks equal Cleveland’s winning streak from Jan. 10-Feb. 11.

Nowitzki, who’s had 16 games this season with 30 or more points and two with 40-plus, went three for 16 from the field and finished with 12 points.

“Dirk didn’t play that well, but he’s not always going to have 20 or 30 points,” Kidd said. “So everybody stepped up. When I get the ball, I know what to do with it.”

New Jersey led by as many as 18 in the first half before the Mavericks got untracked to match the third-best winning streak in franchise history, even while Nowitzki was falling 13.3 points under his season average.
