Jalen Brunson backs his coach after latest ugly defeat.
Thibs gives pitch for staying course.
“Bounce of ball goes a different way, there’s probably three or four more wins. Over the course of a season you’ve got to believe that it works itself out.”

Doncic played 29 minutes today. Only the second time this season he’s played fewer than 30. He played 29:58 in the 41-point win over Memphis.

Plano’s Julius Randle just torments the Mavs. 21 games vs DAL avg 20.8 pts 10.4 rebs. Today: 21 pts, 3 rebs in 1st half to lead Knicks to 59-52 lead. That’s its close is remarkable given Mavs 33% shooting. Dinwiddie 12, Luka & Hardaway 11. 2nd half soon @971TheFreak – 1:52 PM

If the Mavs’ double-digit deficit in Q1 vs. the hated Knicks doesn’t have Luka Doncic mad enough, being a touch late to release his buzzer-beating 3 from 3/4 across the court won’t help matters.
Would’ve been a dazzling way to cap his rough 2-for-8 shooting start. – 1:08 PM

Luka just hit a shot from about 70 feet at the buzzer — ruled good on the court, but overturned. Still in his hands as light went on. 32-20 Knicks after 1. – 1:08 PM

In a recent conversation with Jason Kidd, Luka Doncic asked: “What can I do more?”
Kidd’s answer: “That’s a hard question to answer because he’s doing everything for us. I jokingly said, ‘I could play you 48 minutes,’ and he would be up for that. He wants to help this team win.” – 11:41 AM

More on this storyline
Tim Bontemps: Jason Kidd, when asked after the game about how he and the Mavericks hope to keep Luka Doncic fresh this season so he’s ready to go for the playoffs: “We’ll just put him in a freezer. I think we bought one for the airplane. We’ll see if he can fit in it.” -via Twitter @TimBontemps / December 3, 2022
Tim Bontemps: Luka Doncic said he loves playing in day games. Why? “It’s 3pm” and the rest of his day is free. He said — twice — to make sure Adam Silver knows that he wants to play in as many day games as possible. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / December 3, 2022
Callie Caplan: After Mavs’ big win vs. Knicks, Luka Doncic took the game ball and presented it to rookie Jaden Hardy in the locker room to commemorate his first NBA points. Jason Kidd: “That was a really classy thing by Luka.” -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / December 3, 2022
Callie Caplan: What was it like for Jalen Brunson to face Mavs for first time? “To be honest, not fun.” -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / December 3, 2022

Callie Caplan: Jason Kidd said Mavs miss Jalen Brunson off the court as much as on: “You can ask Josh and DP and Maxi, those guys in that locker room, when things weren’t going well, he was always someone that’s a calming voice to be positive and try to help you out of a slump.” -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / December 3, 2022
