Mavs observers, was Kidd asked about the foul on Zion with 17 seconds left up 2? Did they think they had a foul to give or did they want to send him to the line? Zion made 1-2 and Mavs ended up winning after 2 Kyrie fts and Ingram missed a tying 3. – 6:02 PM

Jason Kidd on Tim Hardaway Jr. “He’s the substitute teacher in the starting lineup right now. He’s just a pro and this afternoon was a perfect example of that.” – 5:27 PM

Two 40-point scorers is awesome, but to me, the big number is Lively’s 12 rebounds, seven on the offensive end. Big one late led to a three-pointer from Hardaway. – 5:21 PM

Mavericks grab a clutch and much-needed 125-120 win over New Orleans as Irving and Hardaway combine for 83. Much needed? For possible tiebreakers with the Pelicans, you bet. – 5:18 PM

Pelicans fall 125-120 to the Mavericks. Didn’t do enough in clutch minutes to earn the victory, but the issues started well before then. Can’t miss 10 FTs and give up 13 offensive rebounds (which led to 17 2nd chance points for Dallas) when Hardaway and Irving were breathing fire – 5:14 PM

Brandon Ingram got a pretty good look at a game-tying 3 but was off. The offensive rebounds and shot-making from Hardaway were the difference in the fourth quarter. This one will sting. – 5:10 PM

Brandon Ingram misses the potential game-tying 3-pointer. Looks like Dallas is gonna pull out a win in this one after a historic scoring performance from Kyrie and THJ. – 5:10 PM

Huge possession for the Mavericks. They were down by five and Dereck Lively came up with two big offensive rebounds that finally yielded Hardaway’s three-pointer to cut it to 111-109 with 4:52 left. – 4:52 PM

Nine consecutive points put the Pelicans ahead 90-82 with 3:58 left in the third. Mavs are a two-man team with Irving and Hardaway combining for 57 of their 82. After 3-of-17 start, Pelicans have hit 27 of their last 37 shots. When Dereck Lively goes to bench, Pels attack. – 4:23 PM

Don’t think #Pelicans would’ve challenged it anyway, but you could see Dyson Daniels telling coaches not to call for replay review of the ball out of bounds he deflected off his fingers. Daniels didn’t realize Kyrie Irving also deflected ball after Daniels touched it – 3:43 PM
