The Fast Break: Mavs vs. Clippers

Final: Mavs 106, Clippers 98 It wasn’t the prettiest game, what with a combined 58 free throws and the two teams shooting 20 for 70 from beyond the arc, but the Mavericks will certainly take a win any way they can get one. Dallas snapped a four-game losing streak with its second win over the […]



The Fast Break: Mavs at Timberwolves

Final: Mavs 119, Timberwolves 115 Luka Doncic did not achieve the triple-double that seemed very likely at halftime, but he accomplished something else a little more special: a complete takeover down the stretch. Doncic checked back in midway through the fourth quarter with Dallas ahead 102-92. Then began one of the most extraordinary scoring runs […]



The Fast Break: Mavs vs. Suns

Final: Mavs 104, Suns 94 This game was, in some ways, kind of the opposite of the Mavs’ defeat at the hands of the Lakers two nights ago. On Monday night, Dallas was the better team in the first half before L.A. cranked up the intensity and took the game with a strong second half. […]



The Fast Break: Mavs at Hornets

Final: Mavs 122, Hornets 84 The Mavs’ struggles on the road this season are well-documented; we do not need to review them in this space. For all of those reasons, this one had to feel pretty good for the Mavericks. It was nearly a wire-to-wire win for the Mavericks, who trailed 16-12 at one point […]



The Fast Break: Mavs vs. Thunder

Final: Mavs 105, Thunder 103 When Paul George sank a 3-pointer to put Oklahoma City up 101-95 with just 1:59 to go, it felt like this game had slipped right out of the Mavs’ hands. Dallas led for double-digits through most of the third quarter and into the fourth, but a massive bench-led Thunder surge […]



The Fast Break: Mavs vs. Pelicans

Final: Mavs 122, Pelicans 119 Dirk Nowitzki forever and ever, amen. The Mavs legend made quite a bit of history tonight, when he became just the sixth player ever to win 900 games in his career. Adding to the significance was that win coming in career game No. 1,477, which moves him out of a […]



The Fast Break: Mavs vs. Hawks

Final: Mavs 114, Hawks 107 This was a very strange game. Rick Carlisle was ejected, there were two sets of double-technicals, and Jalen Brunson and Wesley Matthews combined to make just two shots yet Dallas was up double-digits for much of the fourth quarter. The bench carried the day for a large part of the […]



The Fast Break: Mavs vs. Magic

Final: Mavs 101, Magic 76 Luka Doncic has grabbed all the headlines, both written and sung, throughout much of this recent streak. But Dallas did it tonight with a well-balanced approach, scoring 100+ for the 24th time in 25 games this season, despite no player scoring more than 19 points. Harrison Barnes led the way, […]



The Fast Break: Mavs vs. Rockets

Final: Mavs 107, Rockets 104 Wow. I mean what can you even say? Luka Doncic is unbelievable. That was a special few minutes of basketball thanks to a 19-year-old rookie from Slovenia. Dallas took down Houston tonight thanks to many more players than only Doncic, however. Wesley Matthews had his highest-scoring game since Nov. 6, […]



The Fast Break: Mavs vs. Trail Blazers

Final: Mavs 111, Trail Blazers 102 Dallas has now won eight straight at American Airlines Center for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Overall, the Mavericks are now 10-2 at home, which is good to see given that following tomorrow’s back-to-back, four of the team’s next five games are at home, with three coming […]
