WEB Mavericks Stumble in Opener, Fall into a Hole They Know All Too Well
Another slow start dooms the Mavericks in a loss that feels all too familiar
Mavs drop to 1-3 on the season after a disappointing performance in their home opener
The Dallas Mavericks stumbled out of the gate in their home opener on Wednesday night, falling to the New Orleans Pelicans 111-106. It was a disappointing performance for a team that had high hopes for this season.
The Mavericks have now lost three of their first four games, and their only win came against the lowly San Antonio Spurs. They have struggled to find consistency on offense, and their defense has been porous at times.
The Mavericks' loss to the Pelicans was particularly frustrating because it was a game they should have won. The Pelicans are a young team that is still rebuilding, and the Mavericks had a chance to take advantage of that. But they couldn't get it done.
The Mavericks will try to bounce back on Friday night when they host the Los Angeles Clippers. But they need to figure out their problems quickly, or they could find themselves in a hole they can't get out of.
