Run it back: Mavericks hope big men return for rematch with Clippers

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Other than getting a key player or two back, there’s a couple of easy fixes for the Mavericks in their rematch with the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.

Make more shots, which won’t be hard considering they didn’t make any three-pointers in the first half of Friday’s 23-point loss to the Clippers.

And make the LA defense work a little harder.

That, too, shouldn’t be hard if the Mavericks get a couple of key players back, which looks like a good possibility.

That in itself will level the playing field.…
