Mavericks look destined for early vacation

SACRAMENTO -- The Dallas Mavericks sure do not look like a playoff team.

They won’t be unless things change drastically down the stretch of the regular season.

The Mavs continued their miserable March with a mail-it-in 133-111 loss Sunday to the lottery-bound Sacramento Kings. That makes 10 losses in the past 12 games for Dallas, which has dropped out of the West playoff picture, a half-game behind the eighth-place Houston Rockets.

The Mavs have allowed an average of 113.2 points per game during their disastrous dozen-game stretch. To put in perspective just how horrible that is, the Kings allow the most points in the NBA this season with an average of 109.
