TORONTO – The way the Mavericks have shot the ball this season, maybe it was inevitable that when they came to the Great White North, it would extend their hibernation from the three-point line.
Another frosty shooting night merged with terrible rebounding and an inability to make defensive stops late, dooming the Mavericks to a 105-100 loss to the Toronto Raptors Saturday evening at Scotiabank Arena.
The Raptors were playing without Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes, and the Mavericks got stung again by a shorthanded team.
It’s the fourth time this season they’ve lost on the road to a team missing its best player(s).
