SAN ANTONIO, Texas – One of the NBA teams that played Wednesday night in AT&T Center has embarked on a season-long losing endeavor, more focused on top draft position than a deep playoff run.
Bad news for the Mavericks: It was hard to distinguish their play 13 games before the playoffs from the tanking Spurs for much of the game.
Dallas won 137-128 in overtime by erasing a nine-point deficit over the last 4:31 of regulation and then outlasting their series of gaffes that almost resulted in their worst loss of the season.
