Mavericks on verge of dynasty as future stars shine despite Pistons loss
DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks were defeated by the Detroit Pistons on Friday, losing 107-89. Dallas played without Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and Dereck Lively II in the game, however. All three players will sit out Sunday’s regular season finale as well. As a result, a number of Mavericks young players are receiving opportunities to make an impact.
Jaden Hardy led the charge on Friday. He scored 25 points and recorded seven rebounds. Olivier Maxence-Prosper also had a strong game, scoring 16 points and adding six rebounds. Prosper also had a jaw-dropping dunk that belongs on a poster.
