The Dallas Mavericks faced the Philadelphia 76ers in their third and final scrimmage, and for the most part, this game looked largely like two teams just wanting to make it to the eight game regular season.
The 76ers looked particularly dreadful shooting 5-of-27 from the field in the first quarter. The Mavericks contested shots, but Philadelphia could not buy a bucket. For Dallas, Kristaps Porzingis started hot with 13 points and five rebounds, but Luka Doncic struggled early. Even still the Mavericks took a 24-13 lead after one.
The 76ers climbed back into the game as the Mavericks bench unit failed to protect the lead.
