The Dallas Mavericks have won 19 of their 28 games heading into Sunday’s contest in Toronto. They had 33 victories total last season. That massive turnaround is in large part thanks to coach Rick Carlisle. The Mavs head man has helped Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleber, Dorian Finney-Smith, and others improve to form one of the deepest teams in the NBA.
Carlisle is one of the league’s best coaches. He has led three different teams to the playoffs including winning a championship with Dallas in 2011. Carlisle allowed this year’s team to embrace their strengths and is running the most efficient offense in the NBA.
