Casey DeSmith stopped 29 of 30 shots through overtime, but Dallas converted neither shootout attempt as Columbus finished a 2-1 victory.
Cooper Flagg’s second-half accuracy helped Dallas erase a 19-point deficit, but his four assists on Naji Marshall baskets made the comeback far more than a personal correction.
Washington lost 6-5, but Jordan Kyrou’s goal and two assists connected the Capitals’ comeback and exposed Dallas’ trouble defending the next chance.
Walter Clayton Jr., P.J. Washington and Caleb Martin supplied every Dallas three against Sacramento, leaving the Mavericks’ interior work and free throws to carry an offense with too little perimeter breadth.
Kansas gained 451 yards, but a fourth-down stop at the TCU 1 and Max Carroll’s interception return helped the Horned Frogs survive 22-16.
The Mavericks stayed aggressive near the basket in Friday’s 116-111 win over Houston, with Cooper Flagg and Daniel Gafford each recording a two-point basket alongside a defensive goaltending violation against Clint Capela.
Jake Oettinger stopped 16 of 20 shots in Dallas’ 5-2 loss, a poor night that still does not make him responsible for Montréal’s empty-net goal or the Stars’ larger defensive collapse.
Ajay Mitchell scored 29 points on 12-of-20 shooting, yet Dallas’ passing and secondary perimeter scoring carried the Mavericks past Oklahoma City 120-96.
Thomas Harley and Miro Heiskanen handled Dallas’s heaviest minutes against New Jersey, but the Stars’ lone goal came from Tyler Myers’ point shot and Justin Hryckowian’s redirect in a 5-1 defeat.
Cooper Flagg made the late headline play, but Dallas’ ten blocks against Miami revealed a defense that could share the rim-protection burden.
Washington went 6-for-12 without a 3-pointer in Dallas’ 122-106 loss to San Antonio, while the Mavericks gave away too many second chances and lacked enough perimeter scoring.
Cobie Durant advanced from limited to full participation, but Dee Winters’ Friday DNP and P.J. Locke’s new limitation kept Dallas’ defensive return picture uneven.
Overshown worked fully while Winters missed Thursday’s session. Dallas still has a substantial run-defense assignment, with Barkley also back at practice.
Cornell Green combined thirteen seasons without a missed game with honors at two positions. His reliability gave Dallas repeated access to an excellent player.
After three practice-squad elevations and 65 special-teams snaps, Juanyeh Thomas earned an active-roster spot Tuesday. Dallas made room by waiving cornerback Caelen Carson.
The Cowboys are changing the linebacker beside rookie Jaishawn Barham while leaving him responsible for the green-dot communication duty.
Kenny Clark recorded a sack at Lambeau Field, joining Quinnen Williams and Elijah Garcia in a three-sack effort. Dallas held Green Bay to 57 rushing yards, but third-down failures and empty opportunities kept the front from changing the result.
Arttu Hyry’s early third-period goal gave Dallas room to attack and protect, while Roope Hintz’s insurance goal finished a 4-0 win over Chicago.
Daniel Gafford is being asked to pass, hand off and keep Dallas’ offense moving. Friday’s six-point, two-rebound night showed why the Mavericks still need the basics to travel with the experiment.
The Cowboys have enough talent to produce stretches of continuity. Klayton Adams’ Thursday assessment shows why sustaining it remains the harder assignment.
The Mavericks’ preseason loss to New Orleans exposed spacing and pressure problems, but one poor perimeter night does not erase the value of creating open shots before the defense settles.
The Cowboys have changed their defensive coordinator’s vantage point and added Mike Pettine for scheme advice. The harder work remains field-level execution.
