Grimes, Sixers nudge Mavericks in Washington’s return
It most certainly was good to have P.J. Washington back on the floor for the Mavericks on Sunday afternoon.
What wasn’t so great was having Quentin Grimes back in American Airlines Center.
The former Maverick who was dealt to Philadelphia before the trade deadline, had 28 points to lead a determined, but understaffed, bunch of 76ers to a 130-125 victory, extending what is becoming a prolonged, rugged stretch for the Mavs.
Despite trailing throughout the fourth quarter, the Mavericks had a chance to tie it on their final possession, but Spencer Dinwiddie’s three-pointer caromed off the rim and the Sixers finished it with a pair of free throws.
