DALLAS — Last January, the Mavericks won seven of their last ten games and went 12-4 for the month, catapulting themselves to a strong regular-season finish and, ultimately, the Western Conference finals.
Monday night in American Airlines Center, the Mavericks Dallas concluded January play with a tougher-than-necessary 111-105 victory over 13-win Detroit, but that isn’t to say they finished the month on an upswing.
The Mavericks (27-25) went 6-9 in January, their worst month since their 3-12 showing in March of 2018-19, Luka Doncic’s rookie season.
