The Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd was asked about the team effort level in the first half after giving up 69 points to the Charlotte Hornets.

“That was awful. Dogshit,” Kidd said. “Just understanding the talk before the game of what we’re playing for, playoffs or championship, and to come out, you know, in that first half, but more or less the first quarter and give up 37, the interest level wasn’t high, you know? You know, disappointing… “
