The Mavericks lost to the Wizards on Friday night, 117-107. It was an ugly game for Dallas, and one of the main reasons for that is their clear lack of a point guard. For the last seven years, it was easy to gloss over just how important a game manager is because they had, arguably, […]

The Washington Wizards beat the Dallas Mavericks for their first win of the season in a game that was hard-fought, entertaining, and incredibly encouraging.
