Long losing streaks haven’t been a part of the Dallas Mavericks’ vocabulary this season.
Trailing by as many as 11 points, the Mavs rolled up their sleeves and went to work before finally escaping the Sacramento Kings and winning, 114-110, in overtime on Tuesday afternoon at HP Field House in Orlando. The lost snapped the Mavs’ modest two-game losing streak.
In fact, every team in the NBA has suffered through at least a three-game losing streak this season except the Mavs, who had seven two-game losing streaks. However, the Kings certainly gave the Mavs all they could handle before Dallas woke up in the fourth quarter and emerged victorious.
