The Mavericks lost back-to-back to the Timberwolves 96-120. After the game, Mavericks player Washington was interviewed by the media.
When talking about how the experience caused by injuries last season will help this year, Washington said: "As long as you stick to it, everything will get better, and the rain will not keep falling. For us, we must stick to our principles, establish the team's characteristics, and don't let every game affect our mentality. Stick to the principles, and the situation will always change."
