The Mavericks‘ slide down the Western Conference standings continued Sunday, losing a heartbreaker to the Hawks in overtime, 132-130. It marked Dallas' eighth loss in its last nine games, and the team moved into the 11th seed in the West.
A crucial missed free throw from JaVale McGee with less than one second left in regulation sent the game to overtime, from where Atlanta was able to pull away.
McGee, who has only averaged 8.1 minutes across 39 games this season, took accountability for his late free-throw miss, comparing his opportunity in the big moment to a movie -- one which is headed straight to DVD.
