Many might believe a D-League assignment is more about working out the legs and less about working out the mind. But the Mavs, for one, don’t think that to be true.

Justin Anderson, Jeremy Evans, and Salah Mejri appeared for the Texas Legends, the Mavs’ D-League affiliate, on assignment Saturday night and all performed very well, leading the team to an easy 124-111 win. Evans was superb in the first half, while Anderson turned things up in the second half and even played the closer role down the stretch.
