Game Preview
The Mavericks closed the season pretty badly, losing 4 of the last 5 games. This isn’t what they hoped for, but on the other hand, when we see all the injuries and that Kyrie isn’t playing, it’s kinda expected.
Over the previous 10 games, Dallas won 4. When looking at road events during this stretch, the Mavs had 6, and they managed to win just twice.
Sacramento Kings beat the Phoenix Suns in the last game of the year, 109-96, erasing two close defeats in the games prior to that one: 101-100 vs. Clippers and 124-116 vs. Nuggets.
Lithuanian duo under the rin, Sabonis, and Valanciunas, dominated, scoring 42 points and grabbing 22 boards combined. Valanciunas had 10-for-11 shooting from the field.
