One of the Mavericks' hallmarks while making the playoffs 15 of the past 16 seasons has been strong depth.
This season? Not so much.
Entering Sunday's game, opposing benches had outscored their Mavericks counterparts in 16 of 26 games. Dallas went 3-13 in those games.
The Mavericks' injury woes have been a significant factor, but they have experienced an uptick in bench help of late — and Sunday was another indicator.
It was just the fact that Devin Harris scored 14 points — doubling his previous season high. It was Dallas having six players score in double figures.
