After suffering a devastating loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on a buzzer-beater, the Dallas Mavericks will face the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday as part of their road trip. Despite P.J. Washington’s layup giving the Mavericks a one-point lead with 2.6 seconds remaining in Cleveland, Max Strus’s shot from beyond half court secured the Cavaliers’ 121-119 win. Dallas coach Jason Kidd acknowledged the loss, stating that the team needed to move on. Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving added that while the loss stung, it was essential to process the emotions and move forward. The Mavericks will face a Toronto team on a three-game winning streak, led by Scottie Barnes, who had a triple-double in their recent win against the Indiana Pacers.
