The Dallas Mavericks dropped the second night of a back-to-back to the New Orleans Pelicans, 113-106, Wednesday night in New Orleans. Kyrie Irving led Dallas with 27 points, while CJ McCollum led all scorers with 32.
This was a crappy game to watch for the most part, as Dallas entered the game missing key players Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber due to injury. To make matters worse, Luka Doncic left the third quarter thanks to his nagging thigh injury. Thankfully the Mavericks finally found a lineup that worked in the fourth quarter but it was too little, too late as the Pelicans couldn’t throw away their nearly 20 point lead established in the third quarter.
