You don’t win six games in a row in the NBA by accident.
Usually, there is numeric evidence that supports why a run of success happens. And there are some clear indicators for the Mavericks, who rolled into the All-Star break with six consecutive wins – three against really good teams, three against really bad teams.
Three at home. Three on the road.
There is nothing to apologize for about this streak. It’s legitimate. The Mavericks have played better than just about anybody in the NBA in the last two weeks.
