Yogi Ferrell scored 11 of his game-high 23 points in the third quarter as the Dallas Mavericks bounced the Miami Heat 78-73 Monday at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas to remain unbeaten in summer league basketball.
The Mavericks improved to 3-0 in Las Vegas after going 5-0 to win the Orlando league. Miami, which was winless in Orlando, dropped to 2-1 in Las Vegas. The next portion of the Las Vegas schedule has yet to be announced.
Ferrell’s big night included a 10-of-12 performance at the free throw line and four rebounds. He scored the last five points of the third period to erase a tied game and give the Mavericks a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
