Mavs started as the 8th seed (26-23). Jumped up to the 6th seed (33-23). Lost one game. Fell all the way back to the 8th seed (33-24). Now in a three-way tie with NO and Sacramento. 0.5 games behind Phoenix.
And just three games behind them the Lakers and Warriors are making a push for a playoff spot. Lakers 7-3 over the last ten games. Warriors 8-2.
I agree everyone is playing well so far and the battle to avoid play-in will be tough. But, the streak did make a considerable difference, as Mavs were 2 or 3 games behind 5th seed before this streak started.
