A teardrop that scraped the heavens meant more tears for the Mavericks Wednesday night.
Atlanta’s Trae Young drove to the basket and lofted a floater high over the arms of Christian Wood that nestled into the basket with 41.1 seconds to go, putting the Hawks on their way to a 130-122 win over the Mavericks at American Airlines Center.
Coming home and the return of two of their best defensive players couldn’t change a disturbing trend for the Mavericks. Their defense again let them down in a big way as the Hawks broke free of a tight game midway
With the Hawks up 121-120, they got a three-pointer by Dejounte Murray before Spencer Dinwiddie rattled out a three-pointer.
