When we last checked in with the Kansas City Mavericks, they were obviously coming out of a holiday food coma and packed a few too many leftover turkey dinners to work. Since coming out of the Christmas break on December 28th, the team had picked up four losses over six games and tumbled six points back of first place. They’ve now added to the dismal total, dropping 2 of 3 to have lost six of nine since the holidays. Managing to pick up a pair of points in a 7-6 OT win against Cincinnati is pretty small consolation. They’re now not only a whopping ten points back of the Mountain Division leading Oilers, their next closest opponent is the third place Utah Grizzlies, and even that is an eight point gap.
Mavericks: Gimme A (All-Star) Break!
