The Mavericks beat the Bobcats 101-92 on Saturday to improve to 14-0 all-time against the franchise.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 points and Tyson Chandler, who played for the Bobcats last season, grabbed 15 rebounds.
"It's night and day the way I feel," Chandler said. "Last year I was fresh off my surgery that summer. Now it's been a year and I just feel like a different person."
Chandler never got on track in Charlotte while having a somewhat difficult relationship with former coach Larry Brown. Chandler said before the game he didn't request a trade, but figured he'd be dealt.
"I think it was definitely the best for both of us," he said.
The Mavericks have the NBA’s longest active winning streak with eight victories.
