After Dark: Trying to make sense of an awful early season loss to the Pelicans

Filed under:

Dallas is 1-2 after another clutch time loss

The Mavericks fell to the Pelicans in their third game of the season, collapsing once again in crunch time and one again losing by just one basket, this time 113-111. It was a loss that didn’t need to happen, with New Orleans missing three of their starters.

Josh Bowe and I attempt to make some sense of how it even happened. I lay the blame firmly on the coaching staff and the rotations.
