The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Washington Wizards by a score of 130-117; the game wasn’t even as close as the final indicated. Tim Hardaway Jr. led the way for Dallas with 31 points off the bench, while Kyle Kuzma paced Washington with 22 points of his own. Luka Donic had a nice response game despite subpar shooting, and the Dallas role players severely outplayed their Wizard counterparts.
Both teams came out hot in the first quarter, trading baskets at a blistering pace. Doncic and Derrick Jones Jr. combined to score 21 of the Mavericks’ first 23 points.
