Mavericks fans were flooded with emotions as Chimezie Metu sank a corner three at the buzzer to bury Dallas on Dec. 29.
Anger, frustration, and disappointment were all present, to name a few. Dallas fell to 16-18, sat at 12th place in the Western Conference, and without their star Luka Doncic in the lineup, it felt like the sky was falling. Dwight Powell and Frank Ntilikina played a combined 66 minutes in that game and scored a total of 11 points. The season was almost halfway through and the Mavericks of old were not going down without a fight.
