0/12: Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber combined from three

Bullock struggled tonight against his former team, but he’s been a big part of Dallas’ success recently, so I don’t doubt he’ll bounce back. On the other hand, Kleber has been in a slump for what feels like some time now, but lucky for Dallas, his defense hasn’t wavered.

Don’t worry about offense, keep blocking shots. The ball is going to go in for you… He’s a shooter, he’ll figure it out.” Kleber is currently shooting 26 percent (9-of-34) in his last eight games.
