Brooklyn Nets defeated the Dallas Mavericks 113-109 

For the first time since the All-Star break, the Brooklyn Nets won back-to-back games on Monday night, defeating the Dallas Mavericks 113-109 behind 24 points from Keon Johnson.

The Nets (25-51), who last won two straight games during a three-game winning streak from February 7–12, had 18 points and 11 assists from D’Angelo Russell. Brooklyn overcame a 10-point hole halfway through the fourth quarter with a 12-0 run, despite being without their top scorer, Cam Johnson, due to a back ailment. The Mavericks (37-39), who were attempting to reach. 500 for the first time since March 10, had 17 points from Daniel Gafford in his first game since February 10. Anthony Davis had 12 points and seven rebounds in 28 minutes in his first home game since being injured Feb. 8 in his initial Mavericks appearance following the trade that sent superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Davis returned last week and played three road games.
