If ever there was a clear snapshot of Dwight Powell’s basketball life, it came on the just-completed three-game trip.
Here were the Maverick center’s scoring lines in the three games: 22, 0, 13, all of which were intertwined.
The night he had at Utah on Friday is why he sometimes endures games like the one he had Sunday at Golden State.
Against the Jazz, Powell was dared to score. And he did, rolling up 22 points, which tied his season high. The Mavericks didn’t win that game. But they were in position to do so largely because of Powell’s work in the pick and roll with Luka Donu010diu0107.
