OKLAHOMA CITY – The best advice Luka Dončić could get after Tuesday’s loss would be something along the lines that momma said there would be days like this.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Mavericks picked a dreadful time to throw out one of their worst halves of the season. With a trip to Las Vegas for the semifinals on the line, the Mavericks could not have been flatter in a disastrous third quarter and went on to lose 118-104 to the Oklahoma City Thunder […]

OKLAHOMA CITY – First off, the Mavericks can certainly live with winning seven of every eight games, which is what they have done since Nov. 25. So even though they went down 118-104 against the Thunder on Tuesday night, it doesn’t mean things have turned south. But the NBA Cup Nights quarterfinal game did point […]

The Season of Giving marches on for the Dallas Mavericks, and their latest mission to spread holiday cheer included a very special visit to Children’s Medical Center Dallas.

OKLAHOMA CITY – And so, we meet again. Seems like the Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder have played each other on a weekly basis for the past couple of seasons. That’s what happens when you see a team in the playoffs after playing them three or four times in the regular season. This will be the […]

OKLAHOMA CITY – Dereck Lively II said it’s OK if he and some of his teammates have a little flashback. The Mavericks on Tuesday will visit the Oklahoma City Thunder in the quarterfinal round of the 2024 Cup Night Tournament with a spot in the semifinals in Las Vegas on the line. The stakes: win […]

TORONTO – By collecting his 79th career triple-double during Saturday’s 125-118 triumph over the Toronto Raptors, Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Dončić passed Wilt Chamberlain and James Harden to climb into sole possession of seventh place on the NBA’s all-time triple-double list. The next person on the list Dončić is none other than Jason Kidd […]

TORONTO – No NBA team has a better record over their last 12 games than the Dallas Mavericks. Counting Saturday’s 125-118 win over the Toronto Raptors, the Mavs are 11-1 over their past 12 games.

TORONTO – A little over three weeks ago, the Dallas Mavericks were staring at a woeful 5-7 record and sitting in 12th place in the ultra-tough Western Conference. It was an awful place to be in for the defending conference champions. Fast forward to today, and the Mavs are 16-8 after Saturday’s 125-118 victory over […]

TORONTO – What the Mavs are experiencing on the court right now is exactly what they hope to experience heading into this season’s playoffs. A winning streak.

WASHINGTON – In now his seventh NBA season, Luka Dončić has become synonymous with triple-doubles. The Dallas Mavericks’ point guard added another triple-double to his notch Thursday night when he manufactured 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 steals during his team’s 137-101 triumph over the Washington Wizards. The ability by Johnson to put his iron-clad […]

WASHINGTON – Daniel Gafford was glad to be back in his old stomping grounds on Thursday night. But he’s also glad to be in his new stomping grounds.

Give the Washington Wizards credit. They are lapping the field so far in the Cooper Flagg Derby. The Mavericks will start a two-game trip in the nation’s capital to face the 2-17 Wizards, who have lost 15 consecutive games and clearly are headed to the draft lottery in the spring. Flagg is the presumptive No. […]

When Spencer Dinwiddie signed a one-year, $3.3 million free agent contract with the Dallas Mavericks this offseason, there were no guarantees as to how much playing time he could expect to receive. No organization in its right mind would guarantee that. “I signed on to help the teammates win a championship in whatever form that […]

In the early part of this 82-game NBA marathon, the Dallas Mavericks have been seriously hit by the injury and illness bug. But because of their depth, they have been able to overcome those adversities. They went 5-1 during a recent period when point guard Luka Dončić was sidelined for one game with a sprained […]

Guard Spencer Dinwiddie gave kudos to the folks at NBA headquarters for the drama that unfolded as the Dallas Mavericks pulled a rabbit out of their hat and sacked the Memphis Grizzlies, 121-116, Tuesday night at American Airlines Center.

The only other teams with a similar won-loss record during that time are the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics, who also have […]

It would be nice and simple to say that if the Mavericks beat the Memphis Grizzlies Tuesday night at American Airlines Center, they will advance to the knockout round of the 2024 Cup Nights. But like most things in life, it’s not that simple. Things do look positive for the Mavericks going into the final […]

PORTLAND, Ore. – It’s been an interesting first quarter of the season for the Mavericks. They have played 21 games and shown several different personalities while keeping up a solid pace in the cutthroat Western Conference. Identity? Nope. Not even close. Not yet, anyway. But what Jason Kidd and his coaching staff have done is […]
