Luka’s exit can’t slow down Mavericks in another big win over Cleveland
The Mavericks Express keeps rumbling along, sending loud, ominous noises that they are a locomotive that will be hard to stop come playoff time.
They took another step toward guaranteeing themselves a postseason spot and avoiding the play-in tournament with a taking-care-of-business 124-97 victory over Cleveland Sunday night at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.
The victory moves the Mavericks to 40-28 with four games remaining. They need any combination of two wins or two losses by the Los Angeles Lakers to clinch no worse than the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers played late Sunday night against Phoenix.
