Final: Lakers 114, Mavs 113 When you remember back on this game, you will probably remember the final 10 seconds. Kyle Kuzma missed a free throw that would’ve put the Lakers up by three, Luka Doncic answered with a difficult floater, Wesley Matthews fouled LeBron James going the other way, and then James missed […]
Final: Jazz 113, Mavs 104 The scores from the last couple games have looked more like the basketball scores we’re accustomed to seeing. And while the Mavericks still allowed 110.8 points per 100 possessions against Utah, Dallas has climbed from 29th in defense to 25th over the course of the last two games, both of […]
Final: Raptors 116, Mavs 107 This was the kind of night when you can call basketball a game of runs. Toronto stormed out to an 18-2 lead and seemed to remain up double-digits for most of the rest of the first half. Then, all of a sudden, Dallas pulled to within 50-45 before the break, […]
Final: Mavs 115, Bulls 109 Dallas scored 115 tonight, extending its streak of 100-plus efforts to three games in this young season. But the story, if you’ve paid any attention so far in 2018, was all about the first quarter, when the Mavs allowed only 28 points. In a normal year, 28’s a pretty high […]
Final: Mavs 140, Wolves 136 If you like the Kansas City Chiefs, you’ll probably enjoy Mavs (and NBA) basketball this season.

Similarly, the 136 points the Mavs allowed tied […]
Final: Suns 121, Mavs 100 There are many lessons to be learned from the first game of any NBA season, and particularly this one, when the Mavericks have two new starters, including a 19-year-old rookie, and are also without their two-time leading scorer. Luka Doncic is a few months younger today than Dennis Smith Jr. […]

Final: Pistons 113, Mavs 106 Box Score | Highlights Behind the Box Score Maxi Kleber’s streak of consecutive made field goals ended tonight at 10, a span that stretched across three games.

Final: Magic 105, Mavs 100 Box Score | Highlights Behind the Box Score Dorian Finney-Smith tied his season-high with 14 points. Coincidentally, both his earlier season-high and career-high (17) came against Sacramento.
