MEMPHIS – The Dallas Mavericks appeared well on their way towards flying merrily back home while making a clean sweep of this three-game road trip Monday night at FedEx Forum.
Then the fourth quarter happened.
Disaster struck the Mavs at every corner in the fourth quarter as they suffered the meltdown of all meltdowns in dropping an unfortunate 112-108 decision to the Memphis Grizzlies. The loss snapped the Mavs’ modest two-game winning streak and squared their record at 36-36 going into Wednesday’s home game against the Golden State Warriors.
Coupled with the Warriors’ 121-108 win in Houston on Monday, the Mavs have slipped to the No.
