A seven game losing streak is not a good thing, no matter how you look at it. Three of these seven losses came to teams that likely won’t be sniffing the playoffs either. Luka Doncic has played well throughout the 13-game streak that resulted in 12 losses and Jalen Brunson has proven to be a solid sidekick as well. Still, no formula was resulting in any wins.
Finally, on Saturday night, the Dallas Mavericks broke the streak with a win over the now 17-53 Cleveland Cavaliers. This win was meaningful for Mavs fans who got to see a quarter of vintage Dirk Nowitzki in which he scored 10 points during the 4th quarter.
