Out of those 65 games, the Mavs have had a lower 3P% than their opponent in 37 games, and they have had a higher 3P% than their opponent in the other 28 games.
Out of the 37 games in which the Mavs have had a lower 3P% than their opponent, the Mavs have won 9 and lost 28 [W% = .243].
Out of the 28 games in which the Mavs have had a higher 3P% than their opponent, the Mavs have won 28 and lost 0 [W% = 1.000].
I REPEAT:
The Mavs record so far this season in games in which they have made a higher percentage of 3-point attempts than their opponent is ...
28 wins and ZERO losses.

Here are the stats for the teams that are currently in the top ten of the Western Conference:
