The Dallas Mavericks have lost four straight games and seven of their last nine contests. After their latest loss to the Utah Jazz, Luka Doncic didn't hold back when discussing his team's struggles.
"Terrible. There's really not much to say... Right now it's looking like we don't care, honestly, if we win games or not."

Doncic has played well throughout Dallas' struggles, registering 25-plus points in five straight games. However, his teammates haven't stepped up in the same way.
While the team is averaging more than 100 points per game, Doncic has done much of the heavy lifting. In 18 games, he's averaging 27.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game while shooting 46.4% from the field and 28.7% from deep.
The Mavericks rank 13th in the Western Conference after Friday's 120-101 loss to the Jazz with an 8-11 record. They'll have to turn things around quickly if they want to hold onto a postseason spot.
