About the Mavericks: From the looks of Thursday’s 113-109 win over the highly-regarded Brooklyn Nets, the Mavs have mentally gotten themselves into playoff mode. Even on a night when Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant combined for 65 points, the Mavs showed they were not going to be denied. Even on a night when Luka Doncic scored just five of his 24 points in the second half.
