The Mavs dropped their 14th game out of 17 Wednesday night, suffering a demoralizing loss to their in-state rival by a surprising tally of 94-87. The Spurs came into the game with a 14-4 record trailing only the Golden State Warriors for the top seed in the Western Conference. The Mavs on the other hand, added another to their league worst 14 losses.
The Mavericks came into their Texas showdown with the Spurs extremely shorthanded. While Devin Harris returned from injury, Dirk Nowitzki sat out again after Rick Carlisle informed the media that the star big man will miss at least the next two games after tonight’s and that there is no timetable for his return.
