Statistics Rundown: 3 numbers to know from a victory in New Orleans

Dallas Mavericks defeated New Orleans Pelicans with a score of 137-136 Wednesday night in New Orleans. Two weeks after a disappointing and controversial loss in New Orleans, Mavericks returned to the great light seeking revenge. This time they were able to exorcise their demons with a big team victory against a subordinate team.

Tonight’s competition was a game of running as both teams struggled to maintain benefits until Mavericks finally withdrew in the fourth quarter. A furious pelican pushes into the game’s last minute was averted and Mavericks escaped with a huge victory.

PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford and Klay Thompson all turned the stars’ performances tonight. Their collective acting helped Dallas overcome 19 revenue, and Mavericks’ 137 points tied to their second highest total this season. Here are the numbers that tell the story of this one.

20: Number of three-Pointers for Dallas tonight

Secondly, in a row, Maverick’s 20 triangles spiked and went a crispy 20-of-43 from a distance. When you hit so many triangles, it’s hard to lose. New Orleans was only able to keep up because they hit 15 triangles of their own and scored 27 points from 19 Maverick’s revenue. This could have been a blowout if Dallas had been stronger with the ball. Klay Thompson got the back-to-back game with six-plus triangles made that went 6-of-11 tonight. Three other Mavericks (Washington, Kyrie Irving, Quentin Grimes) hit at least three 3-Pointers; It was great to see hot shooting up and down in the set -up. The NBA is often a make-or-miss league, and Dallas needed every one of their brands tonight.

22-12-4: Point/rebounds/blocks to Daniel Gafford

Since Dereck Lively II went down with a broken ankle, Daniel Gafford is an average of 18.9 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per day. Battle over eight competitions. Forford’s return to the starting lineup has given the best stretch we have seen from him in a Maverick uniform. And Dallas needs Gaffford’s increased production; His acting perfectly expresses the “next man up” mentality that Jason Kidd has preached all over their injury winner. Gafford is clearly more comfortable as a starter. With the numbers he has set up recently, he is more than earned his role.

8: Helps to PJ Washington

It’s a career high for PJ! Kyrie Irving is usually the closer to Dallas, but the Superstar Guard started uncharacteristically hot and faded as the game went on, with the New Orleans defense, what it could to get the ball out of his hands. When Mavericks finally made a big run and pulled away, it was PJ Washington who was the lead of the charge in the fourth. He hit several huge triangles, scored in the position and created his teammates. The Pelicans caught Irving in Pick and Roll, and Dallas reacted by screening with Washington and letting him find shooting games on the short roll. It was great to watch Washington Rack up in Dimes tonight – he just seems to be better for Mavericks.
