The Mavericks played a wild, back and forth game but came up short in a heartbreaking 95-94 loss to the Sacramento Kings Wednesday night in Sacramento. A big 13-point final period from Kristaps Porzingis put Dallas in position to take home a win, but a last second three from Chimezie Metu sealed Dallas’ fate and pushed the Mavericks back to two games below .500.
Kristaps Porzingis finished with 24 points and seven rebounds. Jalen Brunson led Dallas with 25 points and six assists. De’Aaron Fox led Sacramento with 16 points.
