The NBA-worst Mavs dominated the Denver Nuggets Monday night, thrashing the mile-high visitors wire-to-wire by a tally of 112-92. Wesley Matthews continued his insane hot streak, tallying 25 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals.
Matthews’ hot shooting was instantly apparent as he drilled 5 of his 7 three-point attempts and shot 10-14 overall. It was the undrafted free agent’s third straight game with 25+ points.
The Mavs grabbed win number six for the year, but it was by far their best showing of the season. Smooth, precise passing led to an extremely efficient offensive flow that allowed Dallas’s stingy defense to shut down Denver’s top scorers, Danilo Gallinari and Nikola Jokic.
