The Dallas Mavericks faced a stern test on Dec. 14. The Miami Heat came to Texas on the second night of a back-to-back. They are one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference and play a hard-nosed brand of basketball led by Jimmy Butler.
Mavs fans received some positive news prior to Saturday’s tipoff. Delon Wright missed two straight games with an adductor injury, but he returned to action. The team needed his defense against the plethora of scoring guard on the Heat.
Wright came into the game sooner than expected.
