Lack of defense dooms Mavericks as Wizards prevail, 120-114

The Mavericks had some star-level hometown support Saturday night when actor/comedian and Terrell native Jamie Foxx was seated courtside not far from owner Mark Cuban.

It didn’t help.

The Mavericks had done a great job of protecting their home court, but the Washington Wizards put an end to that, coming into American Airlines Center to take a 120-114 victory over the Mavericks, who got 33 points and 10 assists from Luka Donu010diu0107, but couldn’t get enough defensive stops to slow down the Wizards.

The Mavs (10-8) were tied with under 2 minutes to go when Bradley Beal drew the defense in the paint and missed a layup.
