Much accomplished in 90-86 loss to Wizards

The lineup the Mavericks ran out for most of Saturday night seemed fitting for the environment. The Patriot Center on the campus of George Mason University has seen its share of good ball the last couple years.

Just not NBA ball.

The Mavs did their part in promoting the college vibe, right along with the school’s rock-heavy pep band. Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry and Jerry Stackhouse sat out, dimming the NBA star power. (The hometown fans did get Wizards stalwarts Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler.)

Instead, those in the auditorium were treated to heavy doses of JJ Barea, Brandon Bass, Moe Ager and Nick Fazekas on the Dallas side. That’s not to say the Mavs didn’t get a lot done in the 90-86 setback.
