Kristaps Porzingis bounces back as Mavs clip Sixers in overtime, 118-115

Kristaps Porzingis wasted very little time Tuesday night in finding his shooting stroke.

The five-year veteran forward/center scored 13 unanswered points during a five-minute stretch of the first quarter and that provided which propelled the Dallas Mavericks to a 118-115 triumph over the Philadelphia 76ers in overtime.

With the win, the Mavs finished scrimmage play with a 2-1 record and will now begin the restart of the 2019-’20 season on Friday at 7 p.m. against the Houston Rockets.

Porzingis tossed in a jump hook and a pair of 3-pointers as he seemingly brought out all of his weapons while keeping the Sixers off-balanced in the early going.
