Mavs Looking For 10th Straight 50-Win Season

With a victory over the Grizzlies on Wednesday night, the Mavericks will record their tenth consecutive 50-win season.

Since the NBA expanded to an 82-game schedule in 1967-68, only two teams have reached at least 50 victories 10 or more times in a row.

The Lakers did it 12 straight times 1979-80 through 1990-91 and San Antonio has accomplished the feat 10 straight seasons entering this one.

San Antonio's streak, however, may be in jeopardy.

The Spurs have 44 wins entering Wednesday's action, giving them just nine games to notch six wins.

The Spurs will sign swingman Alonzo Gee for the remainder of the season with a non-guaranteed contract for 2010-11 as well, according to Ridiculous Upside.

San Antonio wants to secure the rookie's rights for training camp next fall.

Gee's second 10-day contract with the Wizards expired on Sunday, meaning Washington could either sign him for the rest of the season or let him become a free agent.
