Game notes and more
- The Wizards’ lone win thus far has been against these very Mavericks, who are floundering at the bottom of the Western Conference with a 2-6 record.
- The Mavericks’ GM Nico Harrison built what he arrogantly believed was a “defense wins championships” type of roster before lucking into the first overall pick and the right to draft Cooper Flagg in last year’s draft. Now, Dallas fields a disjointed and injury-prone roster of veterans who were in elementary and middle school when Flagg was born and whose ambitions of competitive basketball already look futile.
