Wizards at Mavericks recap: Wizards blow another late lead

Just four days after congregating on a trade that sent Daniel Gafford to Dallas and Richaun Holmes to Washington, the sides faced off in the Lone Star State Monday night.

The Wizards looked to avoid seven-straight losses, while Dallas entered the contest playing some of its best basketball of the season.

The Wizards fell to the Mavericks, 112-104.

First Quarter

Former Wizard Daniel Gafford wasted no time going to work, knocking down a hook-shot to begin the contest. Gaff was big down low all quarter, notching five rebounds in the game’s opening minutes.
