The most staggering performance came against Oklahoma City Thunder where Dallas put up an astonishing 146 points. The Mavericks led for nearly the entire game (47 minutes), indicating their dominance from start to finish. Their fast-break points were through the roof at 33 – thanks in part to converting all of their fast-break attempts – and they shot an incredible 72 percent from two-point range.


These victories highlight that when it comes to offense, Dallas is not holding back; they're pushing forward aggressively. With such momentum behind them as they face off against Philadelphia on March 3rd at American Airlines Center – where home-court advantage has proven beneficial – expectations are high for another display of strength.
