SAN ANTONIO – The Mavericks split two games on the San Antonio Spurs’ home court, and left the Alamo City with a defiant feeling.
Even with half the roster injured, they are keeping the faith, which isn’t easy.
Or is it?
“It’s not hard,” said Dante Exum. “We know how good we can be if everyone’s healthy. Timing is everything.”
And that’s the bone that the Mavericks have to gnaw on right now. They don’t have a lot of time.
There are 15 games left in the regular season and while they have a cushion on Phoenix in the chase for the final play-in spot in the Western Conference standings, they need some help to keep their positioning or perhaps improve it.
