Mark Cuban Details How The Mavericks Tanked At The End Of The Season

Dirk Turned Back The Clock, But It Didn't Even Matter

The Mavericks have been quite feisty over the past few weeks, quickly climbing out of the Western Conference toilet and into the group of bad teams contending for the eight seed.
