Ball movement. It’s a simple concept, but at times can be easy to get away from. It’s something the Dallas Mavericks aren’t great at remembering to do. Often times the ball can get sticky when the Mavs have possession. But when they remember to keep it moving, they’re a tough team to beat.
That was the case Friday night against the Houston Rockets. The Mavs were without their two best players, Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, but everyone else stepped up thanks in large part to an infusion of ball movement.
On the season, the Mavs are averaging about 290 passes and just under 24 assists per game.
