Mavericks flunk first defensive test

Coach Rick Carlisle has harped on defense since the Dallas Mavericks reported
for training camp. That didn't change after the season-opening 102-91 loss to
the Washington Wizards.
Never mind the Mavericks' miserable shooting night. Those will happen on
occasion.
"It's going to be whether we can defend or not," Carlisle said. "It's as
simple as that."
Carlisle was particularly perturbed with the Mavs' performance on that end of
the floor in the second quarter. The Wizards took the lead for good by
scoring 35 points on 60-percent shooting during that frame.
"We gave them some confidence by giving them some easy baskets," Jason Terry
said, "and we paid for it."
Carlisle has consistently preached to his team that true contenders can win
even when their shots aren't falling at a decent rate. The Mavs failed their
first test, with Washington guards Gilbert Arenas (29 points) and Randy Foye
(20) seeming to score every moment the Mavs seemed to be building momentum.
"This was the kind of game that good teams find a way to win," Dirk Nowitzki
said. "We didn't do it."
