The Movin’ Mavs continued action Saturday with two more wins in the 2020 Dallas Wheelchair Mavericks Invitational.
UTA 77, Miami Heat Wheels 55
The Movin’ Mavs opened day two of the tournament with a 22-point win against Miami, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing.
UTA dominated the first half, outscoring Miami 26-7 and 22-13 in the first two periods, respectively. High intensity defense from high-pointers stifled Miami’s offense.
In the third quarter, however, Miami turned the tide and outscored the Movin’ Mavs 22-10 to trail 58-42.
Senior Fabian Romo said the team took its foot off the gas and had lapses of concentration that led to a subpar third quarter from the Mavs.
