When P.J. Washington drilled three straight three-pointers in the first quarter in a span of 90 seconds Friday against the Golden State Warriors, he knew he was going to have a special night. “Obviously, I haven’t really been making shots as of late, so for me just to see them go in is a great […]

With Luka Dončić lounging on the bench in street clothes, another member of the Dallas Mavericks had to step up and play above their standards if they had designs on defeating the Golden State Warriors. That someone was P.J. Washington. With 4.5 seconds remaining in Friday’s game, Washington broke a tie and scored the game-winning […]

The Mavericks clinched no worse than 10th place in the Western Conference this season with their 109-95 win over Atlanta on Thursday. It wasn’t a milestone moment in Mavericks’ history. They have loftier goals than merely the play-in tournament for teams finishing seventh through 10th in the West. But it was a significant development in […]

Prior to playing Golden State this past Tuesday at the Chase Center in San Francisco, the Dallas Mavericks had the longest active winning streak in the NBA at seven games. That distinction now belongs to the Warriors. And now, the Mavs and Warriors will meet for the second time in four days, this time at […]

The Dallas Mavericks are hoping backup center Dereck Lively II will be back on the court in time before the playoffs start, but he will likely be out at least two weeks, according to coach Jason Kidd. Lively, 20, hasn’t played since suffering a sprained right knee during this past Sunday’s game in Houston. And […]

The Mavericks came home on Thursday after living out of a suitcase for the last 10 days. They were met with some challenges inside the comfy confines of American Airlines Center. First, Luka Dončić picked up two fouls before the first quarter was half done. Then they had to survive a hot-shooting start by the […]

The Mavericks not only survived their long, hopscotch trip across the western United States, they prospered on it. Going 4-1 on the journey that crossed a time-zone boundary eight times (more on that below) was a terrific feat. Now, the schedule gets more convenient. But not much easier. And certainly not any less busy. The […]

SAN FRANCISCO – From a realistic standpoint, the Dallas Mavericks can be forgiven for what transpired Tuesday night at the Chase Center. After all, the game against the Golden State Warriors was the Mavs’ fifth on the road in nine days. Those five games were played in three different time zones, and included a pair […]

The Mavericks fell to Golden State late Tuesday night, but the good news is that it did not cost them any ground in the Western Conference playoff standings. While they missed a chance to pick up a game on the fourth-place Los Angeles Clippers, who lost at Sacramento, the Mavericks’ 104-100 loss at Golden State […]

SAN FRANCISCO – Like the rest of America, NBA players were also dialed in and clamoring to watch Monday’s epic women’s NCAA tournament game between LSU and Iowa. The game was the highly anticipated rematch between the teams that played in last year’s national championship game, won by LSU, 102-85. And the rematch in the […]

SAN FRANCISCO – With bodies feeling the effects of the last day of a five-games-in-10-days road trip, the Dallas Mavericks came out on the short end of a 104-100 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night at the Chase Center. “I mean, I’m human just like the rest of my teammates,” guard Kyrie […]

SAN FRANCISCO — For the second time in as many months, Dallas Mavericks superstar point guard Luka Dončić has been named as the NBA Western Conference Player of the Month. The NBA made the announcement on Tuesday before the Mavs played the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center. Dončić continues to have a banner […]

By Dwain Price SAN FRANCISCO – The door opened, and in less than two weeks, the Dallas Mavericks find themselves in sole possession of the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference after being stuck in the No. 8 spot seemingly forever. Now, the Mavs’ eyes are set squarely on the No. 4 seed, which […]

HOUSTON – If Luka Dončić winds up capturing the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award this season, the way the Dallas Mavericks’ superstar point guard tore through the league over the past two months will likely be the reason he was able to take home that precious hardware. Dončić capped a terrific week on Sunday when […]

It’s getting down to the nitty-gritty in the Western Conference playoff race. The great news is that the Mavericks have climbed into the No. 5 seed and control their own destiny in keeping it. They own the tiebreaker with New Orleans (also 45-29), via better divisional record. And the Mavericks have just one game against […]

HOUSTON – When Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka watches Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving handle the basketball, there’s one thing that completely stands out from anything else he’s ever seen. “He’s the best one-on-one player I’ve seen or coached or been around,” Udoka said prior to the Mavs’ 125-107 victory over the Rockets on Sunday night […]

HOUSTON – Another game. Another Picasso painted by Luka Dončić. Etching an impressive portrait by scoring 47 points, grabbing 12 rebounds and dispensing seven assists, Dončić went deep into his bag of tricks Sunday night as the Mavs knocked the Houston Rockets off their pedestal, winning, 125-107, before a sellout crowd of 18,055 at the […]

HOUSTON – Arguably one of the biggest regular-season games ever between the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets will occur Sunday at 6 p.m. when the I-45 rivals collide at the Toyota Center. The red-hot Rockets are the hottest team in the NBA with 11 wins in a row. The Mavs are the second-hottest team in […]

SACRAMENTO – The last time this much carnage was inflicted on northern California, the gold rushers were taking everything they could find that was worth anything. This time, it was the Mavericks leaving this place barren. They put the worst kind of hurt on the Sacramento Kings with a blowout win on Tuesday, then a […]

SACRAMENTO – This wasn’t the scorched-earth kind of win like the Mavericks had Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. This one, actually, may have been sweeter. The Mavericks had to grind out a hard-fought 107-103 victory over the Kings at Golden 1 Center, overcoming a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit behind Kyrie Irving’s hot hand and a clutch […]
