The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Denver Nuggets 124-117 Thursday night to in the most exciting game of the young season to move to 4-4 on the season.
If you stayed awake into the dark, lonely night, the Mavericks didn’t necessarily reward you for your loyalty in the early goings. The Mavericks started Willie Cauley-Stein and Maxi Kleber again, but the team looked flat and sloppy for most of the first half. About midway through the second quarter, the Mavericks had more turnovers (10) than made field goals (8). At the half, the Nuggets led 52-43.
