With Dirk Nowitzki, J.J. Barea and Andrew Bogut still on the sideline in suits, not the basketball kind, the Mavericks are far from whole body.
And with a 7-20 record after Sunday afternoon's 99-79 victory over Sacramento at American Airlines Center, they're still not whole in spirit.
There are signs of progress on both fronts, though, primarily evidenced Sunday by guard Devin Harris' 14 points off the bench, which doubled his previous season high.
Oh, and the 20-point margin of victory represented a 51-point turnabout from the 120-89 humiliation Dallas suffered to these same Kings in this very building 11 days earlier.
