00:00The Dallas Mavericks brought in the holiday spirit with their pre-Christmas matchup against
00:08the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night at American Airlines Center and finished victorious with the
00:13final score of 131 to 130. In both matchups, they were leading in the first two quarters
00:18and specifically against the Nuggets, they gained a lead as big as 21 points early on.
00:23This was a game of easy transition baskets for Dallas as they were able to capitalize on 20
00:28compared to Denver's 14. Cooper Flagg had a well-rounded offensive night as he was getting
00:33going early on in the game, finishing with just 14 points in the first quarter and also finished the
00:38game with 33 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds. In the second half of this matchup, Denver's momentum
00:44started to pick up and change the flow of the game as they closed their deficit, tying the game at 76
00:49in the third quarter. We heard from head coach Jason Kidd following the game and he stated that
00:54being in a close game last night made it easy to carry over and he thought they had a positive
00:58fourth quarter.
01:00Being in a close game last night is easy to carry over but I thought it was a positive
01:03fourth quarter. The third quarter was our fourth quarter and so we kind of got that bad quarter
01:10out of the way so that we can respond and I thought the group responded.
01:14Mavericks will head on the road to kick off the Christmas holiday taking on the Golden State
01:17Warriors. For all things Mavs, tune into Spectrum Cable Channel 15 Wednesdays and Thursday nights
