The Mavericks were officially eliminated from postseason contention after they lost to Golden State in overtime on Monday.
Dallas dropped to 23-49 with its latest defeat, while the Warriors — who are currently the No. 10 seed in the West — improved to 34-38. The Mavericks only have 10 games left in the regular season, so they have no way to make up the 11-game deficit.
It’s been a long season for the Mavs, who were 5-15 after 20 games. There was a brief stretch in mid-January when they looked like they might make a push for the play-in tournament, having held a 19-26 record after a four-game winning streak, but then they lost 10 consecutive contests. They have gone just 4-23 since Jan. 22.
