ORLANDO – It may not be generating much buzz around the NBA, but the Mavericks have been clutch so far this season.
So much so that less than two weeks into the season, the Mavs lead the entire league in clutch wins. Dallas is a perfect 5-0 in games where the scoring margin is five points or less with five or fewer minutes remaining in the game.
The results mean the Mavs know how to get it done when palms are sweaty and the final outcome is still hanging in the balance.
“When you have 77 (Luka Doncic) and 11 (Kyrie Irving), (winning in the clutch) is an easy thing,” coach Jason Kidd said.
