BOSTON – Before Friday’s game against the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd allowed himself to think out loud about what Luka Dončić was able to accomplish during the first 24 years of his life. That includes being named to five NBA All-Star games—four as a starter – during his first six seasons. “It’s […]
BOSTON – And it all happened so fast. One minute, forward P.J. Washington was firing up a three-pointer while trying to put the Dallas Mavericks up by one point over the Boston Celtics with a little over five minutes remaining in the third quarter. A millisecond later, the Celtics were up by 21 points and […]
BOSTON – With the stroke of a keyboard, Daniel Gafford gained 18 and-a-half games in the standings when the Dallas Mavericks acquired him in a Feb. 8 trade with the Washington Wizards. At the time of the trade, Gafford and the Wizards were 9-41 and had lost 10 of their previous 12 games. On the […]
BOSTON – Look up the definition of “winning” in the dictionary, and there’s probably a picture of Luka Dončić’s smiling face next to it. That’s because Dončić is indeed winning right now.

With the win, the Mavs (34-25) snapped their […]

CLEVELAND – Simply put, Tuesday was one of those what could go wrong kind of endings for the Dallas Mavericks. Up by one point on Cleveland with just 2.6 seconds remaining – and with the Cavaliers out of timeouts – probably everyone, including the Cavs, generally figured the Mavs had this game in the bag. […]
TORONTO – After getting blind-sided by a vicious upper cut Tuesday night in Cleveland, the Dallas Mavericks had to get up off the mat, leave the United States and play the Raptors in Toronto on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at Scotiabank Arena. In the meantime, the Mavs must find a way to flush that devastating […]
CLEVELAND – The reason Kyrie Irving has fit in so seamlessly with the Dallas Mavericks is nothing magical to coach Jason Kidd. “It probably would have to start with (Mavs general manager ) Nico (Harrison) and myself,” Kidd said. “(Irving is) comfortable.

But the analytics unfortunately didn’t work in the Mavs’ favor. Despite trailing by one point with 2.6 just seconds remaining and no timeouts, the Cavs were […]
