espn.com

DALLAS — Coach Jason Kidd called out the maturity of the Dallas Mavericks after they were on the wrong end of the biggest comeback of the NBA season Sunday afternoon.

The Mavs managed to blow a 27-point lead en route to a 111-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at the American Airlines Center.

NBA teams were 138-0 after leading by that much this season before the Mavs' meltdown, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. «I'm not the savior here.

I'm not playing,» Kidd said when asked why he used only one timeout in the second and third quarters as the lead was slipping away. «I'm watching, just like you guys. »As a team, we've got to mature.… We've got to grow up — if we want to win a championship.
