Now that the Rangers’ World Series experience is complete, it’s time to cover the Mavericks again.
And it didn’t take long to watch a game that illustrated one of core principles of the NBA: the fourth quarter is everything, Well, at least most of the time.
Tied at 79 at the end of the third quarter with the Nuggets at home on Saturday night, the Mavericks were outscored 24-13 during the last 12 minutes, leading to the 11-point deficit in the final score. Jason Terry, with 26 points and Dirk Nowitzki, with 23 points, led the Mavericks’ offense. But the duo only tallied one point in the fourth (on a Terry free throw.) Nowitzki went 0 for 4 shooting in the fourth quarter.
Another problem is that the Mavericks allowed the Nuggets to go 13 for 21 on 3-point shots, while the Mavericks made just four of 15 attempts from long range.
