The Mavericks had some touchy interaction with fans and the
scorer’s table late in the game. Jason Terry was constantly egging on the
fans, who booed and taunted him.
“At that point, you’re trying to do anything to
get yourself going and I just use that to get fired up,’’ Terry
said.
Meanwhile, acting coach Dwane Casey had a heated moment with
the game-operations crew at the scorer’s table when Jason Kidd was trying
to come into the game and the scorers said he wasn’t at the table in time
to go in during a dead ball.
“I disagreed with the gentleman that Jason was
there,’’ Casey said. “When a guy has been in the league 15 or
20 years, I just thought maybe he’d get the benefit of the doubt if he
was a foot or two away from the table.’’
As for Terry’s waving and jousting with the fans,
Casey said: “That’s just Jet’s way of juicing himself
up.’’
By the way, the interesting number for the night is that the
Mavericks are 16-0 when they score 100 points or more. That’s a
remarkable stat considering the way they used to win games. Nowadays,
it’s just not easy for opponents to top the 100 mark.
