LAS VEGAS – Celebrating his newly signed two-way contract, Eugene Omoruyi gave a take-charge performance Saturday afternoon.
Unfortunately, it didn’t result in their first summer-league victory.
The 6-6 forward bulled his way to 20 points, but the Mavericks suffered their second consecutive overtime heartbreaker, dropping an 89-85 decision to the Denver Nuggets at Cox Pavilion in the MGM Resorts Summer League.
The loss dropped the Mavericks to 0-3 going into Sunday’s 2 p.m. game against Sacramento (ESPN2).
Zyland Cheatham, whose potential game winner in regulation came a fraction of a second after the buzzer, got an offensive rebound and dunk for an 87-83 Denver lead in overtime.
