Parsons' 17-point outing might not be the turning point of his season, but the confidence boost is important.
DALLAS -- Chandler Parsons didn't deserve a day off. That's what he thought, anyway. The Mavericks were given Sunday off, but Parsons met with his head coach Rick Carlisle at the American Airlines Center anyway, taking game shots and practical advice from a man who is his biggest supporter.
Maybe the extra repetition paid off or seeing shots fall through gave him a confidence boost that translated to the court. Maybe it was just the law of averages finally swinging in his favor.
