Jason Kidd and the Dallas Mavericks snapped a three-game losing streak, their longest of the season, last night against the Golden State Warriors.
J-Kidd delivered a staggering 16 assists, a season-high-tying six steals, six points and three rebounds in the 110-101 win. Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle was once again reminded of how invaluable No. 2 is to his team, as he told Pegasus News:
"With 16 assists, you can’t argue the importance of him and what he brings to the team."
Teammate Dirk Nowitzki said J-Kidd is great at getting the whole team involved in the game:
"Jason Kidd does such a great job of just getting everybody involved that you can just put the ball in his hands … Tonight, Jason was key because he got Josh into the game, when Josh came in, and he was serving up assists to Shawn and putting him in a good position to score, too."
