Here’s our top takeaways from Friday’s 122-106 win over Orlando.
The offense is cooking: When you shoot 51.2 percent from the field, 39.5 percent from 3-point range and 80.8 percent from the free-throw line, you’ve had a terrific offensive night. It was so good that the Mavericks could even overlook the 16 turnovers they had. They have been No. 1 in the NBA in offensive efficiency virtually all season. It’s become pretty clear that this team, on occasion, can simply outscore people. That won’t happen very often come playoff time, but it’s a nice luxury to have at this time of the season.
