OKLAHOMA CITY – First off, the Mavericks can certainly live with winning seven of every eight games, which is what they have done since Nov. 25.
So even though they went down 118-104 against the Thunder on Tuesday night, it doesn’t mean things have turned south.
But the NBA Cup Nights quarterfinal game did point out several important needs that the Mavericks still must address as the season meanders through the holidays and into 2025.
The Mavericks are going to get a four-day break before their next game, which will be Sunday either at Golden State or home against Houston.
