A loss is a loss. But this loss didn’t feel quite as bad as many of the others this season, right? The Mavs never gave up, fought hard, and put on a good show for the fans that showed up. Lots of promising things to discuss.
Competitive basketball games are fun
Yes yes, they lost. But it was a great game for three quarters. Seriously, this sort of back-and-forth battle is a blast for the audience. Especially against a good team like Charlotte. Dallas looks like a wholly different team right now. They are fighting against good teams, moving the ball like an actual NBA basketball team, and generally just looking like a group of scrappy guys who enjoy playing together.
