Mavericks continue to defy odds with win over Heat
The Mavericks were short on stars, but long on heart Thursday night.
Kessler Edwards, the two-way player who has spent a fair amount of time in the G League this season, was a clutch-play machine in the fourth quarter and the Mavericks rode the scoring of Max Christie and Dante Exum for a 118-113 victory over the Miami Heat at American Airlines Center.
With both teams missing their best players, the game delivered a competitive atmosphere that forced the Mavericks to make big plays down the stretch.
The Mavericks reach the All-Star break at 30-26. They won four of their last five games before the pause. Maimi fell to 27-28.
