Mavericks trying to keep things light in pressure situations

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Mavericks wrapped up their Wednesday morning shootaround in familiar fashion.

A little dancing, a little huddle, a lot of half-court shooting.

Everyone on the team from Luka Donu010diu0107 to the assistant athletic trainers has made one of the heaves this season.

It’s everybody’s chance to laugh at the misses, particularly the occasional airball, and lighten the mood.

Don’t underestimate the importance of that at this time of the year, when the Mavericks are preparing for Game 5 against Oklahoma City tonight in a 2-2 Western Conference semifinal series.
