Mavericks beat the Nets 123-114 after both teams arrive on game day because of
the blizzard
NEW YORK (AP) --- Marvin Bagley III scored 22 points, Naji Marshall had 21 and
the Dallas Mavericks beat the Brooklyn Nets 123-114 on Tuesday night after both
teams arrived in New York earlier in the day.
Both clubs played road games on Sunday and neither was able to fly into the New
York area because of a blizzard. The Mavericks stayed in Indiana and the Nets
remained in Atlanta. Both flew Tuesday and arrived in the early afternoon.
The change in schedule didn't affect the Mavericks, who scored a season-high 76
points in the first half and won their second straight after a 10-game skid.
Brandon Williams had 19 points and 10 assists, while Klay Thompson added 17
points for the Mavericks, who shot 58.5% from the field while playing their
fourth consecutive game without No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg because of a sprained
left foot.
Michael Porter Jr. scored 26 points and Noah Clowney had 22 for the Nets, who
lost their fifth straight. Terance Mann had 17 points off the bench and Nic
Claxton finished with 16 points and nine rebounds.
Mann hit back-to-back 3-pointers to bring Brooklyn within two with 7:42 to
play, but the Mavericks recovered and pushed the margin back into double digits
in the final minute.

Nets: Host San Antonio on Thursday.
