The Dallas Mavericks lost to the Denver Nuggets 118-109. This game sends them to the break on a three-game losing streak, but hopefully with greener pastures ahead. Maxi Kleber is nearing his return, and Dallas will kick off the home stretch of the season with six straight home games.
Predictably, Luka Doncic led Dallas with 37 points on 12-of-22 shooting. Christian Wood played off the bench and didn’t have much impact early, but did spearhead a run in the fourth with 13 points in the quarter as Dallas flirted with a comeback, but never got closer than 10 until the final seconds.
