In their 113-109 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, the Mavericks showed their multiple personalities.
They can be pick-and-roll beasts in their new incarnation with Anthony Davis joining an array of other ballhandlers as a lob-passing threat. They can rebound better than ever this season. And they can get to the free-throw line.
On the other hand, they can look disjointed defensively as they adjust from being a super-small team to one with size.
And then there’s what happens when they get to the free-throw line, which ain’t good. Or at least it wasn’t on Monday.
