Led by sharpshooter Seth Curry’s 24 points on 8-of-15 shooting, the Mavericks (25-36) finished with all five starters in double figures during Friday’s win. The Mavs also got a big boost inside from new addition Nerlens Noel, who tallied 15 points and a career high-tying 17 rebounds during his first start with the team. And after starting their homestand with an impressive win over a Southwest Division rival, the Mavericks will look to contain MVP favorite Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder in their second showdown of the season.
“I think it was a great team effort,” new addition Nerlens Noel said following Friday’s win.
