To paraphrase a line from the great rock band The Who, the kids were all right on Sunday night.
The Mavericks needed a jolt and it came from youngsters Jaden Hardy and Dereck Lively II, who provided a spark late in the third quarter and early in the fourth as the Mavericks ran down the Charlotte Hornets for a 124-118 victory at American Airlines Center.
Oh, the old man, 24-year-old Luka Donu010diu0107 wasn’t bad, either. And neiter was the really old man, 31-year-old Kyrie Irving.
But this night was dedicated to Lively and Hardy, the two youngest Mavs at 21 and 19, respective.
