The Dallas Mavericks were coming off a recent hot streak leading up to tonight’s game. With wins over the Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Los Angeles Lakers. Dallas has also won 5 of their last 6 with two more wins coming against the Miami Heat and New Orleans Pelicans.
Obviously most of these wins are quality wins for Dallas, so the opportunity to play the worst team in the NBA was a welcoming thought for the Mavs and for the Mavs fans. It did not go that way for Dallas tonight, unfortunately.
The Mavs beat the Brooklyn Nets 105-96 tonight on the first night of a back-to-back.
