Dallas obliterates Brooklyn for second straight NBA win

The Dallas Mavericks flaunted their well-oiled artillery after crushing the Brooklyn Nets, 130-93, in the ongoing NBA regular season on Nov. 8, 2026 (Nov. 9, Philippine time), at the American Airlines Center.

Fresh off a convincing dub against the Utah Jazz, Dallas picked up where it left off and bagged its most dominant win of the 2026-27 NBA season with a 37-point demolition.

With an efficient 46-point attack from Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving, the Mavericks cruised to a wire-to-wire win and didn’t give the Nets any room to breathe.

Brooklyn still kept up with Dallas’ pace after Michael Porter Jr. and Nolan Traore converted much-needed buckets to keep the Nets within striking distance.

However, Dallas began to pull away in the second quarter, staging a massive 17-5 closing run to establish a commanding 66-46 lead at halftime.

Backing up Flagg and Irving’s early offensive rampage were Zaccharie Risacher and Santi Aldama, who led the second unit’s attack when both stars took a breather on the bench.

Risacher caused matchup problems for the Nets as his play at the power forward position helped Dallas execute its pick-and-pop plays to perfection, while Aldama bullied his way past Brooklyn’s smaller forwards in the post.

The Nets tried to counter in the second half by executing a 1-2-2 zone defense to neutralize Dallas’ 3-point shooting, but head coach Dusty May already saw it coming and ordered Irving and the rest of the guards to relentlessly attack Brooklyn’s interior.

With Dallas’ quick transition attack, Brooklyn’s 1-2-2 zone immediately collapsed, opening up plenty of options for Irving to make a swivel pass to a teammate in the corner or a bounce pass to the center in the dunker’s spot.

No matter what kind of counter Brooklyn tried, Dallas always had an answer, resulting in another convincing outing in the second half, when the Mavericks outscored the Nets, 64-47.

Flagg took charge for Dallas, stuffing the stat sheet with an all-around effort of 25 points, 12 assists, five rebounds, and one steal.

Irving maintained his steady play and chipped in 21 points and four dimes, while Daniel Gafford, Aldama, and Risacher contributed 18, 12, and 11 points, respectively.

The Mavericks will gun for their third consecutive NBA win against the Indiana Pacers on Nov. 10 (Philippine time), while the Nets aim to restore order on Nov. 12 against the New Orleans Pelicans.
