BOSTON – The Mavericks on the eve of Thanksgiving returned to the scene of one of their truly clutch moments from last season.
For those who don’t remember, last year’s game against the Celtics at TD Garden ended with Spencer Dinwiddie’s three-pointer with under 10 seconds to go.
It was the first of two game-winners Dinwiddie would hit as he did it again in Brooklyn three days later.
Those moments embodied the late-game success the Mavericks had last season, for the most part.
This year, it’s been different, to say the least. The Mavericks have had a lot of close games, but not near as much luck closing them out, although their record in games decided by three points or fewer is 4-3.
