Luka-less Mavs up 27 on the Hornets at halftime … Lakers will see them Wednesday. – 9:37 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Halftime: Dallas 70, Charlotte 43. Dallas is shooting 56.8% from the field and 63.2% (12-of-19) on 3-pointers. – 9:37 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Kristaps Porzingis just had his most dominant half of the season: 22 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks. Highlight was a monster block when Miles Bridges tried to put him on a poster. – 9:37 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Kristaps Porzingis with 22 points, 12 rebounds before halftime. Mavericks are rolling, up 70-43 at the break. – 9:37 PM

The Cavaliers are 5 games over .500 without LeBron James on the team for the first time since December 2000.
They were 15-10 entering their game against the Hornets on December 26, 2000. – 9:29 PM

The ref DID NOT understand the assignment 🙂 pic.twitter.com/AUAkWVE24U – 9:28 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
That was Porzingis’ third block, but seems like he’s had more. – 9:27 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
On Sunday, I predicted Suns 3-1 in next 4: at #Clippers at #Blazers vs. #Wizards vs. #Hornets.
Devin Booker (hamstring) was already OUT.
Monty Williams said Deandre Ayton (non-COVID illness) and Jalen Smith (non-COVID illness) OUT tonight.
3-1 sticks? https://t.co/etsoGByMW7 pic.twitter.com/cwWbTwhXos – 9:27 PM

Rod Boone @rodboone
Rough sequence. Miles Bridges gets blocked by Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr. swishes a 3-pointer on the next possession. Miles came up gimpy on his left foot and is trying to walk it off. – 9:21 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Bridges is hurt, limped off the court even before the timeout was called.
Dallas 55, Charlotte 27. – 9:20 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs
Vibe check, how are we feeling?

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Give the Mavericks credit. When they get it rolling on offense, they don’t mess around. They are up 52-27 midway through the second quarter. – 9:19 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
No, really, I think these teams switched uniforms. Charlotte came into the game shooting an NBA-best 38.4% on 3-pointers, but it’s the Mavs who are 9-of-12 while Charlotte is 3-of-14. – 9:17 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs
We’re cooking ♨️♨️♨️

Burke has 12 and Hardaway has 6 off the bench. – 9:11 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
#Hornets trail 42-22 and James Borrego calls a timeout. Mavs are getting any shot they want. – 9:11 PM

It may not have been a perfect first quarter for the Mavericks, but it wasn’t far from it. They are up 37-20 after KP posts 14 points and Trey Burke has 10 off the bench in just 3:42 of playing time. – 9:07 PM
Tim Cato @tim_cato
well if trey burke’s unvaccinated he’s basically still in his orlando bubble form – 9:07 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Who are these Mavericks? Whichever team this is, it leads Charlotte 37-20 after one quarter and is shooting 13-of-19 (68%) from the field, including 6-of-8 from 3-point distance.
Will the real Mavericks stand up? Or is this them? – 9:07 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs
WHAT. A. QUARTER.

Porzingis downs some potassium and politely looks for a place to dispose of the peel before warming up. pic.twitter.com/tR6v7jUeEL – 7:22 PM

Rod Boone @rodboone
He’s back: Terry Rozier explains to @theobserver what this last week has been like, what kind of symptoms he had, why he thinks the time off was beneficial and his thoughts on James Bouknight’s play while he’s been out.
