The Dallas Mavericks contained the Miami Heat to 90 points, setting a new season low for opponent scoring. Those results occurred after giving up 406 points over their three previous games.

The Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd talked about the team’s defensive improvement: “I thought they played for 48 minutes. I thought even the group that was in at the end played with energy and effort. … You could see they were flying around. Now we’ve got to hold them to that standard.”
