What the Mavericks are doing in the turnover department is borderline historic.
Holding onto the basketball has been a strength of the franchise over the last decade or so, but they are taking it to another level these days with some numbers that rare and might be unprecedented by season’s end if they can keep it up.
In the last 10 games before Saturday’s match with Oklahoma City, the Mavericks averaged 9.7 turnovers per game.
That pace would blow away the NBA record for fewest turnovers in a season (11.1 per game by Portland in the 2020-21 season).
