Sprinting to a dominant 107-82 win Saturday night, the Mavericks (4-15) began their home-heavy stretch on a positive note. They’ll now attempt to avenge a 97-87 loss in Charlotte last Thursday, looking for pay back against the Hornets (11-9) as the scene now shifts to American Airlines Center. And after leading the way as his team clicked on all cylinders for four quarters against Chicago, swingman Wesley Matthews says it’s important that the Mavs continue to close out periods strong during their homestand.
“We just finished the game out,” Matthews modestly said after scoring a team-high 26 points on 9-of-17 shooting and 7 of 11 from three-point range during Saturday’s win.
