The Dallas Mavericks struggled mightily from downtown in their opening game versus the Houston Rockets, and they can only hope they improve from last year.
The Dallas Mavericks struggled with outside shooting in their season opener against the Houston Rockets, making just 11 of 37 attempts from beyond the arc. Houston converted 16 of 36 from distance, creating a shooting disparity that proved decisive in the matchup. Writer Will Miller notes that this poor efficiency mirrors last season, when Dallas ranked 26th in team 3-point percentage at 34.4 percent.
Marcus Sasser provided a rare bright spot by shooting 4-for-5 from deep, while Zaccharie Risacher and Max Christie combined to go 1-for-11. Miller argues that Dallas must quickly find consistency from outside if the team hopes to secure a spot in the playoffs.
