Mavericks-Kings Preview (Yahoo Sports)

[ASFN Admin]

The Dallas Mavericks were torched by an explosive shooting performance after initially appearing on their way to a marquee victory. They should be able to avoid a similar fate Thursday night when they visit the struggling Sacramento Kings, whom they've dominated in recent years. The Mavericks (33-18) lost 128-114 Wednesday at Golden State as the Warriors, led by Stephen Curry's 51 points on 10-of-16 3-point shooting, tied an NBA season high with 19 3-pointers on 38 attempts. Dallas, which led 40-18 with less than two minutes left in the first quarter, had held its previous 12 opponents to 31.5 percent 3-point shooting.
