TORONTO – The Mavericks’ three-game losing streak has been built primarily on their inability to make the long ball.
In their past 14 games, they’ve shot below 30 percent from the three-point line five times.
And they’ve only sprinkled in two games in which they’ve hit 40 percent or better during those 14 contests.
The Mavericks are better shooters than this. They know it. Their opponents know it.
But until they start making more of them consistently, teams are going to continue to run two or even three defenders at Luka Donu010diu0107 and make the other Mavericks beat them.
