In the NBA regular season, the Mavericks defeated the Wizards 111-105.

In this campaign, neither Russell nor Christie was accurate from three-point range, but Christie was obviously more effective, especially on the defensive end, which also allowed him to stay on the court at the end of the game.

Russell made 3 of 10, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 0 of 2 free throws, scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, with a plus-minus of -18; Christie made 4 of 14, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, scored 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, with a plus-minus of +10.
