--G Jason Kidd finished Sunday's game at Washington with one point. He missed all seven of his field-goal attempts. It's the third time this season Kidd has put up a goose egg in the field-goals-made category.
He was 0-for-5 against Denver on Dec. 15 and 0-for-6 against the Clippers on Dec. 2. Kidd did have 11 assists in the win over the Wizards, including six in the final half of the fourth quarter.
--The Mavericks entered the season with the goal of improving at the 3-point line. That hasn't exactly happened. At Washington on Sunday, the Mavs made only five of 30 3-pointers.
Entering Sunday's game, Dallas was converting on 33.9 percent of its shots from beyond the arc, ranking just 22nd in the league.
"I'd like to see us at 36, 37 (percent), those are good numbers," coach Rick Carlisle said. "Plenty of teams are higher than that, plenty are lower, but if you look at stats around the league, that's the number that's attainable, and I think (it's) where you qualify teams as good 3-point-shooting teams. We have some really good 3-point shooters, but as a team as a whole, we haven't shot as well as we want to."
--The Mavericks have not allowed an opponent to shoot 50 percent from the floor this season.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "The greatest point guard in the world. The best who's ever done it. He can always impact the game even if he doesn't score any points. He had so many assists. In the last four minutes of the game, he totally controlled the game." -- G Jason Terry, on Jason Kidd's one-point, 11-assist game Sunday at Washington.
