The Dallas Mavericks handed the Denver Nuggets their fourth consecutive home loss, recording a 131-121 victory on Tuesday (PH time) at Ball Arena. Anthony Davis starred for the Mavs, who won back-to-back games for the first time this season.
 
 
The Mavericks used a strong finishing kick to capture the away win, outscoring the Nuggets 13-4 in the final six minutes. Davis led all scorers with 32 points, shooting 13-for-23 from the field. He also grabbed 13 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season.
 
 
Fellow starters Ryan Nembhard and Cooper Flagg scored 28 and 24 points, respectively, for the Mavs, who improved their overall record to 7-15.
 
 
It was a disappointing defeat for the Nuggets, who wasted a triple-double performance from Nikola Jokic. The three-time MVP racked up 29 points, 20 rebounds and 13 assists in 37 minutes of action.
 
 
With the loss, Denver dropped to 14-6. The Nuggets lost their previous home games against San Antonio, Sacramento and Chicago, with their last victory at Ball Arena coming on Nov. 9 against Indiana.

The Mavericks will be a championship team once Irving returns. Everyone, don't be impatient.

If the Mavericks are healthy, they'll have no problem making the playoffs. Flagg has also proven his strength, and he will surely be an All-Star in the future!

If Irving returns, such a Mavericks team still has the strength to contend for the NBA Finals!
