HOUSTON -- Justin Anderson, just whistled for his second charge on a reckless drive within a span of 91 seconds early in the fourth quarter, jogged the length of the court and sat down next to owner Mark Cuban at the end of the Dallas Mavericks' bench.
Anderson sat there until the start of garbage time in the Mavs’ 109-87 loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday night. As well-cushioned as it might be, it’s certainly not a comfortable seat for Anderson, whose sophomore slump has been one of several bummers in a miserable first six weeks for the Mavs.
