The Los Angeles Lakers will stay at home tonight as they take on the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers are coming off of a 97-90 loss against the Memphis Grizzlies. Luckily for LA, they aren’t the only ones feeling the struggle right now, the Mavs are at odds too.
ESPN.com points out that the team started this month with a skid of four games, but those defeats have only been losses of 5.3 points (on average). They lost their game on Friday night by letting go of a double digit lead in the fourth quarter. Coach Byron Scott said the following about the impressive rookie, Jordan Clarkson, following his big game:
“I think Jordan is just progressing very nicely,” coach Byron Scott said. “He just gets better and better. He’s playing with a lot of confidence right now. I think there’s a whole lot more left in that young man. We’re obviously very happy with the way he’s playing.”
The Dallas Mavericks aren’t having a good time right now. They are really starting to feel some of their struggles. ESPN.com report the following:
“It’s been tough,” Dirk Nowitzki told the team’s official website. “You know, having some injuries creep in over a long season is I guess a part of it. … But one thing is for sure, if we want to make a run at this, we need to be healthier.”
The injuries and offensive woes have led to Dallas losing four of five, dropping to sixth in the Western Conference and just a half-game ahead of San Antonio for seventh. The Mavericks are closing a three-game trip after losing the first two by a combined 34 points, including Friday’s 104-89 defeat to Golden State.
“It’s a long season and there are going to be difficult periods,” coach Rick Carlisle said. “We have to keep our vibe positive.”
