SACRAMENTO – Remember the early and middle parts of this NBA season when coach Jason Kidd said that the Mavericks’ best defense was their offense?
Yeah, it seems like a long time ago.
These days, the Mavericks are proving to the many doubters out there that they can stop opponents from scoring. Kidd and his staff have been relentless in stressing defense. And the players have now bought in to what the coaches are selling because they are seeing results.
The Mavericks are in the top five in the NBA in defensive rating over the last 10 games.
