Mavericks 108, Bucks 107 last night.
Partly thanks to coach Rick Carlisle's meticulous end-game sets, and sometimes because they've just been lucky, the Mavs have won 10 consecutive one-point games.
The feat ties the NBA record set by the St. Louis Hawks in 1960.
Against the Bucks the Mavs improved to 30-15 and survived when Carlos Delfino's runner caromed off the back rim in the final seconds. Not sure that Erick Dampier altered the shot, but he was definitely in the neighborhood.
