After leading the game for most of the first three quarters the Dallas Mavericks fell to the Philadelphia 76ers 116-108 on Wednesday night. The team jumped out to an early lead, scoring 37 points in the first quarter. But hot shooting wasn’t enough, as the 76ers asserted methodical power in the fourth quarter.
The loss drops the Mavericks to 37-40 on the season. A tough road game to lose for all those watching the standings closely, especially on a night the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder grabbed wins.
