Dallas Mavericks rank second in the league with opponents shooting just 29.7% from three and allowing the fewest threes (10.5 per game) after six weeks. Coach Dusty May credits the surge to "intensity" and quicker ball contests rather than new schemes, noting the team’s effort to foul fewer jump shooters. Rookie Zaccharie Risacher stands out, posting 2.0 steals and 1.7 blocks per game – second‑most combined in the NBA – while his conditioning and speed fuel the perimeter defense. May also highlights the impact of increased physicality on ball handlers, which has spurred more pickups and turnovers, and notes incremental offensive gains as the squad learns to exploit its stars' drawing power.
Dallas Mavericks head coach Dusty May says his team will focus on developing winning habits rather than the Sacramento Kings’ 0-6 record. After a gritty win over the Houston Rockets, May praised the Mavericks’ resilience and warned they must stay consistent against a Kings squad that boasts Domantas Sabonis (15.8 rpg, 16.0 pts), Zach LaVine (23.5 pts), De’Andre Hunter and Precious Achiuwa. May also highlighted rookie Darius Acuff, who is averaging 26.3 points and 6.3 assists, and noted fellow Arkansan Daniel Gafford’s respect for the talent. The matchup is the Mavericks’ first as favorites, presenting a new puzzle to solve.

The Dallas Cowboys fell 33-30 in overtime to the Arizona Cardinals, exposing three key flaws. First, the defense showed flashes—forcing a punt, a goal‑line stand, and an early interception—but couldn’t sustain pressure, yielding four straight touchdowns in the fourth quarter and a game‑winning field goal in OT. Second, the run‑heavy offense, still led by Brian Schottenheimer, managed 30 points and a balanced 50/50 pass‑run ratio, yet failed to capitalize on early leads, letting the Cardinals rally from a 24‑10 deficit. Finally, the lingering “Cardinals curse” persisted as Dallas surrendered a 13‑point lead with under four minutes left, confirming the 2026 squad’s inability to close out games.

The Texas Rangers have declined the 2027 mutual options for DH Joc Pederson, catcher Kyle Higashioka, and RHP Jakob Junis, making all three free agents and saving about $30.5 million. Pederson, who posted a .235/.329/.487 line with 26 homers in 2026, opted out of his $18.5 million option after a season limited to the DH role. Higashioka’s two‑year, $13.5 million deal includes a $7 million option for 2027, while Junis, who recorded a 2.80 ERA before the All‑Star break, also had his option removed. The moves align with Rangers president Chris Young’s push for a younger, more dynamic roster, leaving the club’s 2027 payroll around $170 million.

The Cowboys fell 33-30 in overtime to the Cardinals after a fourth‑quarter collapse, leaving the season as the biggest loser. The article names four Losers – a sputtering running game (Javonte Williams 56 yards on 24 carries), a busted defense against backup RB Tyler Allgeier’s 128 yards on six carries, a costly rough‑the‑passer penalty by Rashan Gary, and head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s overly conservative play‑calling. The lone Winner is rookie tight end James Mitchell, who recovered a Budda Baker fumble for a TD. Key takeaways: missed opportunities, missed field goal by Chad Ryland, and a missed chance to seal the win.
