Marvin Bagley III scored 22 points and Naji Marshall added 21 as the Dallas Mavericks snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 123-114 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night.
Both teams faced travel challenges due to a blizzard, having played Sunday road games and staying overnight in other cities—Dallas in Indiana, Brooklyn in Atlanta—before flying to New York Tuesday. The disruption didn’t slow the Mavericks, who poured in a season-high 76 points in the first half and secured their second straight victory.
Brandon Williams recorded 19 points and 10 assists, while Klay Thompson added 17 points for Dallas, which shot 58.5% from the field despite playing their fourth consecutive game without No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg (sprained left foot).
For the Nets, Michael Porter Jr. led with 26 points, Noah Clowney added 22, and Terance Mann chipped in 17 off the bench. Mann’s back-to-back 3-pointers cut the Mavericks’ lead to two with 7:42 remaining, but Dallas responded and restored a double-digit cushion in the final minute.
Up next: The Mavericks host Sacramento on Thursday, while the Nets welcome San Antonio.
