NEW YORK -- The Dallas Mavericks have dropped their past two games by a combined 69 points, including a 39-point loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. Monday's defeat was the second largest in the 11-year tenure of head coach Rick Carlisle.
"It was ugly from start to finish," Carlisle said after Dallas' 127-88 loss to the Nets. "When you lose every quarter of an NBA game, you certainly haven't done what you need to do. So, it's a very disappointing night."
The Mavs (27-36) lost by 30 points to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, and they have dropped seven of their past eight games.
