The Dallas Mavericks wrapped up their trip to China on Oct. 8. The Mavericks played overseas as part of NBA Global Games. They faced the Philadelphia 76ers for the second time in four days. Monday morning’s game took place in Shenzhen. The Mavs dropped the first meeting 120-114 on Oct. 5 in Shanghai.
Dallas was once again without three key rotation fixtures. Harrison Barnes and Dirk Nowitzki missed the contest with injuries, and DeAndre Jordan did not make the trip to China for personal reasons.
The Mavericks had a hot start for the second straight game.
