Last season the Dallas Mavericks had the worst record in the entire NBA in close games losing an insane 38 of their 50 clutch games.
A Clutch game is defined as a game that is within 5 points at any moment with 5 minutes or less left to play.
The Mavs 38 losses last season were the most since the NBA started tracking clutch games in 1996 when Dirk was 18 years old and wasn’t even in the NBA yet. Basically last year’s Mavs were historically awful in really close games last season.
