Top fan take from @IamRommy: “Competitive! Mavs fell behind early, but battled back with little effort. This game stayed very competitive throughout the 1st half. Hornets finally built a double digit lead early in the 3rd & held it most of the quarter. Mavs battle back to a 5 point deficit early 4th just to get bombarded again. Hornets easily held a double digit lead most of the 4th . Mavs manage to battle back to 4 with no time left. Despite the loss, the Mavericks showed a large amount of potential. Flagg, Davis, & Thompson all scored double digits in only a half of play. Ball & Bridges just managed to combine for 40 to spoil the night. This could develop into a dangerous Mavs team amid Kyrie's return. Undoubtedly the best NBA game of the night ”
