The Dallas Mavericks lost 112-101 to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday afternoon despite entering the fourth quarter with an 89-79 lead. They had led for most of the game, but the offense went dry when they needed it most, and the Nuggets found an offensive formula that worked down the stretch.

Now, the group heads to Dallas for a game that could have major implications on the Western Conference standings. The Nuggets are just half a game ahead of the Mavericks, so a win could give them a 1.5-game advantage. They sit at 22-15 on the season.
