The Mavs lost to the young hornets by 19 points, 99-118. Luka Doncic had a subpar performance doing just 12 points, five assists, two rebounds, and two steals. Tim Hardaway Jr. is the best player for the team doing 18 points and Jalen Brunson tried to fill in the void with 16 points, five rebounds, and four assists from the bench. As of the moment, the Mavericks are not looking like a good playoff contender in the NBA Western Conference.
