(1/2) Those first five minutes of the second quarter were subpar for Washington, to say the least. One of the failings was that the Wizards played as if Montrezl Harrell wasn’t even on the floor. I know Harrell does a lot of damage on the offensive boards, but still … – 9:26 PM

Kleber dunked on the follow-through and while still in mid-air pointed toward the sideline, it appeared toward Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Impressive dexterity. – 9:16 PM

The Wizards lead 41-36 after one in Dallas, matching their quarter-high for the season (vs. Indiana). Zippy, zippy offense.
Bradley Beal’s got 13p on 6-6 shooting. – 9:10 PM

This first quarter has got to be Washington’s best offensive quarter of the season. They scored 41 points on 18-of-26 shooting from the field (69.2%), with only four points on fast breaks. They had just one turnover. Bradley Beal set the tone with his decision-making. – 9:08 PM

As Kyle Kuzma ends first quarter with a three-point play, Mavericks surrender 41 in the opening frame and trail by five. Everybody left their defense at the Thanksgiving table. – 9:08 PM

Doncic checked out with 41 seconds left in the first quarter, already with 15 points and four assists. It’s the Doncic-Beal show so far. Bradley Beal has 13 points and four assists for the Wizards. – 9:07 PM

Maxi Kleber just fouled Montrezl Harrell and doubled over for a bit. Staying in the game. Mavericks having a terrible defensive first quarter, down 38-36. – 9:06 PM

Luka Doncic is fascinating to watch, as so many players are. When he attacks off middle pick-and-rolls, it’s amazing how effective he is even though he doesn’t quite get to his spots with explosion. That’s a trait that’s even more evident by watching him in-person. – 8:58 PM

This has been a superb start for Bradley Beal, not just with his shooting but also with his decision-making in giving up the ball when Dallas brings two defenders to him. Beal is 4-for-4 from the field & has also been unselfish, with three assists. Washington leads Dallas 19-15. – 8:51 PM

Wes Unseld Jr. says Deni Avdija will spend some time guarding Luka Doncic tonight. Unseld Jr. says part of defending Doncic is not being too aggressive because it plays into his hands; he draws fouls and creates open 3s for others. – 7:13 PM

Asked James Borrego if he thinks he will have a minutes restriction on PJ Washington since it is a back to back, and if he is concerned about his cardio.

As expected, the Wizards have listed Spencer Dinwiddie as out for tonight’s game here in Dallas, continuing with the early season plan of resting Dinwiddie on the second nights of back-to-backs. Dinwiddie is not quite 11 months removed from surgery to repair a partial ACL tear. – 4:22 PM
