DALLAS — Returning home after a 1-3 road trip that spanned 11 days, the Dallas Mavericks hope to draw inspiration from playing in front of their own fans Saturday night at American Airlines Center.
Concluding their lengthy road trip Thursday night with a 121-103 loss at Golden State, the Mavericks (17-38) put up a valiant fight against the defending champs before eventually falling. The Mavs also played their first game after making a trade-deadline deal earlier in the day, shipping veteran reserve Devin Harris to Denver in a three-team exchange that brought back forward Doug McDermott from New York and the Nuggets’ 2018 second-round pick.
