Bertans hits a long shot, “Mavericks” lose

“Mavericks” lost 108:112 (28:30, 27:32, 36:26, 12:29) to the vice-leader of the Western Conference, Memphis “Grizzlies”.

Bertans played 15 minutes and 15 seconds, during which he made one of four long shots, missed one two-pointer, grabbed one rebound, had two assists and fouled out three times. The Mavericks scored two more points with him on the court than they allowed, which was tied for the best score on the team.

Due to injury, Luka Doncic could not help the Dallas team for the fifth game in a row. In his absence, the most productive with 28 points was Kyrie Irving, who did not make any of the eight shots in the fourth quarter, but Christian Wood and Jaden Hardy scored 20 points each.

Jaren Jackson Jr. had 28 points for the winners, while Santi Aldama had a career-best 22 points and 14 rebounds. Ja Morant, who is serving an eight-game suspension, was with the team but was not included in the game application.

With 36 wins in 72 games, the “Mavericks” are in seventh place in the Western Conference, ten games before the end of the regular season, one win behind the “play-off” zone. The Grizzlies are second with 44 wins in 71 games.

On Wednesday, the Dallas team will host their direct competitor, the NBA champion Golden State “Warriors”.
