Thursday truly was a Jaden Hardy party hosted by the Dallas Mavericks’ third-year guard. Hardy had his hands in a number of things that positively affected the Mavs during their dramatic 117-111 come-from-behind victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. For Hardy, the celebration started when he energized the Mavs by scoring 14 of his season-high […]
For the lion’s share of Thursday night, the Dallas Mavericks couldn’t crack through the wall the Portland Trail Blazers put in their path. Then, with less than five minutes remaining, the Mavs came out roaring like a lion. Trailing, 109-99, with 4:33 left, the Mavs switched to another gear on both ends of the court […]

MEMPHIS – Not long after the Dallas Mavericks’ 119-104 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum on Monday night, coach Jason Kidd found himself addressing yet another injury to yet another key player on his roster.
