BOSTON – After Wednesday night, which actually wasn’t a bad shooting night by their standards, the Mavericks are hitting 34.4 percent of their three-point shots through the first 17 games.
That’s not good enough, from Jason Kidd’s vantage point.
It’s the lack of consistent outside shooting that has sent the Mavericks on a skid, losing three of their last four and five out of eight.
They haven’t won a road game since Oct. 27, although you can’t really hold that against them since they’ve only played three since then. They’ll have two cracks to get out of that slump over the weekend, at Toronto and Milwaukee.
