Although the Dallas Mavericks lost for the fourth straight time on their home court Saturday night at American Airlines Center, coach Jason Kidd said “there were a lot of positives” that resulted from the 97-90 defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies.
“Those guys that were in uniform (Saturday) fought, and they gave themselves a chance to get back in the game,” Kidd said. “It was just the little things down the stretch that we just couldn’t capitalize on.”
The “little things” like missed shots, missed free throws, failing to corral a key rebound or make a crucial basket was what did in the Mavs, who lost for the seventh time in their last nine games.
