Mavs were 26-23 at that point having blown so many leads and lost 7 of their last 9. Since then they have gone 24-7 and have looked dominant. And 5 of those 7 losses happened in a single week.
What a weird season.
In late january/early february it was almost a copy of the previous season. Same record. Same tendency. But this time they nailed the desperation moves and turned things around.
