After watching the Dallas Mavericks upset the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets on Sunday, 107-105, on a left-handed 21-foot buzzer-beating hook shot from guard Kyrie Irving, Kurt Thomas allowed his mind to think about the possibilities for the Mavs going forward.
“It was a helluva shot,” Thomas told Mavs.com. “The Mavericks are playing great. Luka (Donu010diu0107) has been outstanding. Kyrie has been playing amazing.
“They made some nice trades at the trade deadline (to acquire Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington) that seems to be very positive. They’ve been playing well. But again, it’s a marathon.
