It remains a Pyrrhic victory against a lesser opponent, but when you are in the ICU, any small improvement is more than appreciated by those who care about you. That's what happened last night to the Dallas Mavericks, who, despite the sporting collapse, the trade of Luka Doncic, and the plague of injuries, seem to be heading to the play-in (clearly due to the poor performances of truly lamentable teams like the Phoenix Suns or Sacramento Kings). The Texans defeated the Atlanta Hawks 120-118 yesterday in the first great game of Anthony Davis dressed in blue.
The way they won was also beautiful, as they entered the final minute trailing by three points. First, Klay Thompson leveled the game with 41 seconds to go, and then AD secured the victory for his team with a great basket 3 seconds before the end.
Thus, the Brow led his team with 34 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks. He scored 14 of the 23 shots he attempted and dominated the Hawks in the paint. Klay Thompson (17 points and 5 triples) and Spencer Dinwiddie (14 points and 10 assists) also performed well, and three players from the bench reached double digits (Daniel Gafford, Max Christie, and Jaden Hardy). Not bad for a team with many issues. On the Hawks' side, Trae Young's 25 points and 12 assists were of no use.
