NEW YORK -- Don't try to stop me; I've officially decided the Dallas Mavericks have peaked.
Either that or they're unswervingly on course to break the Lakers' NBA 1971-72 record of 33 straight wins this season, as well as finalize such flawlessness with whipped cream and a chocolate cherry championship on top.
Even though they had their 13-game win streak halted by the Lakers on Sunday, there is no in-between, no middle ground, no hemming or hawing or hedging.
