So close. That seems to be the recent theme for the Dallas Mavericks after losing the most clutch games in the NBA last season and now dropping four in a row that were all within reach. Tonight’s overtime loss drops the team’s record to 2-5 heading into their matchup with the Lakers on Wednesday.
Despite the loss, there were plenty of bright spots. Luka Doncic had a career-high 31 points along with eight rebounds, four assists, and a block and steal as well. He did all of this shooting an efficient 11-18 from the field too, although his turnover issues continued with him coughing up the ball six times.
