Two games against Cleveland. In the first one at AAC, Mavs had a 20-point lead and lost by three. Tonight, they get beat by a 60-foot buzzer-beater that even Max Strus called lucky. – 9:30 PM

Oh my gosh. Ridiculous shot to win the game at the buzzer. Max Strus from beyond halfcourt. Mavs lose 121-119 despite doing a lot of things right on the final few possessions. – 9:17 PM

Huge block by Strus on Doncic layup. It led to another 3-pointer by Donovan Mitchell for a 56-41 lead with 3 minutes left in first half. – 7:54 PM

Scotto: You touched on Bruce Brown being second behind Dejounte Murray as far as the Lakers’ trade target pecking order. I went on SportsNet in Toronto recently, and they asked me about Brown. Certainly, the Knicks because he’s Tom Thibodeau’s ideal type of player. By the way, you talked about the Lakers’ interest in Brown. The Knicks had Brown as their No. 1 free agent target ahead of Max Strus and other players. The other team I heard was the Dallas Mavericks. They also had considered going after him in free agency with the money they had available before they got Grant Williams. They’ve looked at upgrading the three and four positions while turning down requests for Dereck Lively. -via HoopsHype / January 25, 2024
