Nor’easters are brutal storms on the upper Atlantic coast this time of year.
In their first two stops on the eastern seaboard, the Mavericks were as destructive as anything Mother Nature could dish out.
But their torture of the northeast ended Friday night.
The Philadelphia 76ers got a big nights from MVP candidate Joel Embiid and James Harden and the Mavericks simply couldn’t keep pace in the second half, dropping a 111-101 decision to the Sixers at Wells Fargo Center.
After last-possession victories at Boston and Brooklyn, the Mavericks were rolling through the upper east coast, but their road trip record fell to 3-1 after the Sixers took charge.
