The Dallas Mavericks need to get their situation fixed in a hurry, and the second opportunity in three days against the Charlotte Hornets comes Sunday afternoon at Charlotte, N.C.
The Mavericks (36-38) are coming off back-to-back home losses, including a major missed opportunity Friday against the lowly Hornets.
"Just understanding the talk before the game on what we're playing for, the interest level wasn't high," Dallas coach Jason Kidd said. "It was awful. We can't come out like that, especially this time of the year."
Charlotte (24-51) won 117-109 on Friday night at Dallas despite playing without guards Terry Rozier (foot) and Kelly Oubre Jr.
