The Mavericks benefited from Walter Clayton's return to Florida. His breakout was a major difference in the win over Miami.

Dusty May has a long history in South Florida and he looked right at home in the win Monday night.

He's a "bad dude," and his game-clinching drive proved it. Here's our updated story about the Mavericks' 113-109 win at Miami on Monday night.
Mavericks' strong showing rewarded with gut-check win over Miami. Here's the quick recap:

For those glued to Cowboys game, the Mavericks are throwing together a silver-bullet effort and are up 104-97 with 4:52 left against the Miami Heat. Flagg, Giannis both having monster games.
Mavericks up 95-93 with 8:13 left after five consecutive points by Florida native Walter Clayton Jr., who signed his two-way contract just last week. Mavericks are making it tougher on Giannis since his 3Q outburst.
Daniel Gafford just got kneed where you definitely do not want to get hit as Giannis went high for the slam and Gafford tried to act like a barricade. Gafford went to the locker room. Heat are up 60-57.
Sergio De Larrea suffered a right knee strain in the first half and is doubtful to return, per the Mavs.
Stoppage for a review of a dust-up when Tim Hardaway Jr. elbowed Daniel Gafford out of the way and Gafford reciprocated. Gafford put the hard foul on Giannis to ignite everything. Nothing flagrant about anything, to this eye.
I took a nap this afternoon, but didn't think I'd wake up in 1994. A rugged first quarter ends with Heat up 27-23 and points are not coming easy. Giannis with 7-5-3 for Heat. Cooper Flagg with 4-3-5 for Mavericks. Mavs shot just 29 percent, but stayed close.
It's 15-8 Mavericks with 8 minutes left in the first and all the Mavericks have scored, except for Cooper Flagg, who has four assists.

Here's Dusty May on whether Cooper Flagg (shoulder) will play tonight in Miami: “It’s a true game-time decision. But I expect him to play.”
Mavericks have started the season slowly, but they are positively rabbit-like compared to Monday's opponent.

Mavericks lack manpower, run out of steam late as Spurs spoil their home opener. Here's the quick recap:
