PORTLAND – When it comes to the way the Dallas Mavericks have been playing on defense lately, coach Jason Kidd
The Mavs lost a pair of games in Portland over the weekend. They dropped one Saturday by 17 points (136-119), and they dropped another one on Sunday by 17 points (140-123).
Those 276 points are the most points the Mavs have allowed in consecutive games all season. Kidd knows those two stinkers on the defensive end of the court are not conducive to winning basketball games.
That’s why he reiterated that the Mavs must make marked improvements on defense if they want to get to where they want to get to.
