As if he was barreling to the basket for a layup, Jalen Brunson didn’t waste much time putting the first half of the 2021-22 season for the Dallas Mavericks in its proper perspective.
“It’s been a little bit of a roller coaster,” the fourth-year guard said. “We’ve had ups, we’ve had downs.
“Our downs have basically been mostly Covid and things of that nature. But I think for the most part we’ve put ourselves in position to be a good team.”
In this roller coaster of a season, the Mavs have carved out a respectable 22-19 record at the midway point of the season for a winning percentage of 53.
