Mavericks own the Pacific Division -- sort of

Consider it good news that the Mavericks’ next three
games on this road trip are against Pacific Division teams.
 
After they overwhelmed Phoenix at the finish line Sunday
night, the Mavericks now own a 12-1 record against the Pacific Division. The
lone loss was against the Lakers a couple weeks ago in Dallas.
 
The Mavericks are 3-0 against Golden State, 2-0 against the
Clippers, 1-1 against the Lakers, 3-0 against Sacramento and 3-0 against the
Suns.
 
Their next three games: Clippers, Lakers, Warriors.
 
Of course, the Pacific Division is looking more and more
like a one-hit wonder. The Lakers are among the championship favorites, of
course. But the other four teams are all lottery bound.
