The Dallas Mavericks have been in 26 clutch games this season, which leads the NBA. Dallas is 10-16 in those games and haven’t scored particularly effectively in those games. But they have played good defense to help them in those situations. The Houston Rockets, meanwhile, have only played in 14 such games. They are 6-8 […]

Through no fault of their own last season’s Eastern Conference Finalist, a team that was winning Game 7 of the Finals (it wasn’t actually an OKC coronation parade) before Tyrese Haliburton ruptured his Achilles, is a bad team.
