Final: Mavs 114, Clippers 110 Throughout this season we have sung the praises of Luka Doncic both metaphorically and literally, we’ve highlighted the bench, and we’ve mentioned DeAndre Jordan double-doubles more times than I can remember. During that time, Dennis Smith Jr. hasn’t received quite the shine that perhaps he deserves, especially in recent games. […]
Final: Mavs 128, Rockets 108 The offense was rolling in this game to a degree which we haven’t seen very often this season, or even in years. Dallas poured in 128 points tonight, tying for the most the club’s scored away from home since April 1, 2015. The Mavs had a 133.3 offensive rating in […]
Final: Mavs 113, Nets 104 Not sure what else can be said about J.J. Barea that hasn’t already been said since the beginning of last season, so I’ll just give you his stats: 20 points on 9-of-16 shooting, eight assists against two turnovers, two steals, and a +8 rating in 26 minutes off the bench. […]
Final: Mavs 119, Nets 113 Usually after a game in which two starters score 20+, you’re going to start with them. But without J.J. Barea and Devin Harris I really don’t believe Dallas would have been able to overcome Allen Crabbe’s 3-point shooting barrage. Harris scored a season-high 18 points and Barea matched him, and […]
Final: Mavs 112, Warriors 109 How many times last season would the Mavericks have lost this game? They hung around good teams all of last season, and have done so for much of this season, too, but were seemingly never able to cross the finish line in first place. Dallas was 12-38 in games last […]
Final: Mavs 118, Jazz 68 In a game like this, where do you even begin? I have no idea, so let’s start at the end. This was the third 50-point win in Mavericks history, and the 68 points they allowed are the fewest by any team this season and fewest by any Mavs opponent since […]
Final: Mavs 103, Bulls 98 Where would the Mavericks be without their bench? J.J. Barea was a +21 tonight in a game Dallas won by just five points. Devin Harris was +19 in 18 minutes. Maxi Kleber scored 10 points and blocked two shots in just 16 minutes. Typically your bench is full of […]
Final: Mavs 111, Thunder 96 If you were to make a team of players who always have season-high performances against the Mavericks, you’d start with Dennis Schroder. The German got the start at point guard tonight for OKC, as Russell Westbrook was sidelined due to injury. Any seasoned Mavs fan would feel a few nerves […]
Final: Jazz 117, Mavs 102 Sometimes it’s difficult to identify what went wrong during a tough first quarter, but tonight it was unfortunately easy. Dallas committed seven turnovers to the Jazz’s one in the opening frame, with most of them coming in the live-ball variety, the most difficult to defend against. A pass sailing out […]
Final: Mavs 119, Wizards 100 The Mavericks put together as complete a 48 minutes as they have played all season long in this game, winning three of the four quarters by double-digits. Washington outscored the Mavs 29-17 in the third, in part fueled by a particularly fiery run of shot-making toward the end of the […]
