After an uncomfortably long 5 game losing streak to start the season, Dallas pulled off their first win of the season. Dirk didn’t play. Deron didn’t play. Wesley Matthews shot 3-17 from the field. Dallas still won. How did this happen?
Harrison Barnes Keeps Showing Up
The raw numbers are impressive: on a night where he was needed, Barnes rose to the occasion with 34 points and 8 rebounds shooting 50% from the field to go along with his 2 assists and 2 steals. Yes, the sample size is small but at this point, I am comfortable saying that Barnes is the best small forward that the Mavs have had since Shawn Marion.
