Mama said there'd be days like that: Mavericks scratch practice to watch full-length horror film of loss to Hawks

TORONTO -- Usually, there are two ways to respond to an epic fail like Wednesday's fiasco in Atlanta, where the Mavericks lost a 26-point lead and the game to the Hawks.

Either practice is long and exhausting, or the film session is long and tedious.

Rick Carlisle opted for the latter.

The Mavericks canceled their practice session in Toronto on Thursday to watch film from Wednesday's game.

Wednesday's entire game, start to agonizing finish.

The 111-104 loss in Atlanta was, as several players said postgame, a disaster. Players talked among themselves for about 10 minutes in the locker room after the game.
