The Mavericks are spinning closer to a fairly ignominious NBA record ? for being on the wrong side a free throw shooting discrepancy in the playoffs.

Following Sunday's loss, the jump-shooting Mavericks, who always have trouble getting to the line, have shot 388 free throws in the playoffs. That's 177 fewer than their opponents.

The New York Knicks hold the NBA mark, having taken 144 fewer than their opponents in the 1970 playoffs. Barring a rally at the foul line, that mark will soon belong to the Mavericks.
