Stat of the Game
Four Mavs bench players were double-digit plusses (Harris +20, Evans +16, Powell and Anderson +14) while three Pelcians bench players were double-digit minuses (Cole -19, Holiday -17, Anderson, -15). The Mavs foursome shot 13-27 from the field while the Pelicans threesome was 8-31.
Of Note
- The Mavericks rested four starters (Dirk, Deron Williams, Wesley Matthews and Zaza Pachulia) who all played 40+ minutes in Tuesday's double OT win over the Kings.
- Parsons scored 19 of his season high 21 points in the first half.
- Felton came up big again in the fourth quarter where he scored 12 of his team high 22 points.
- Rookie Justin Anderson fared well in rare playing time, scoring 5 points and grabbing 4 rebounds in 17 minutes.
- The Mavericks started a lineup of Barea, Felton, Villanueva and McGee to go along with the only regular starter, Parsons.
- The Mavs and Pelicans are already done with their season series with both teams winning 2 games.
"These two nights could easily have gone the other way. And this is an important moment for our season."
