OKLAHOMA CITY – Daniel Gafford prides himself on being as close to perfection as humanly possible.
After all, the Dallas Mavericks’ center led the NBA in field goal shooting this season at 74 percent. And at one stage this season, Gafford converted 33 consecutive shots – two shy of the NBA record established by the great Wilt Chamberlain.
So, when Gafford glanced at the stat sheet from Tuesday’s 117-95 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center, he was none too pleased to see that he was just 5-of-12 from the field.
