The Dallas Mavericks got off to an unexpectedly slow start. They dealt with injuries and COVID issues, which culminated with a six-game losing streak. The Mavs had just eight wins in their first 21 games and were 14th in the Western Conference.
Superstar Luka Doncic was producing monster numbers, but it was not leading to wins. The Mavericks had the worst 3-point percentage in the league and were one of the most disappointing teams overall.
They have got things back on track.
