Mavericks owner Mark Cuban believes the Heat deserve to be considered the NBA's best team right now.

The Heat haven't loss since suffering a double-digit loss to the Mavericks a little more than two weeks ago. They held a players-only meeting that night that sparked an eight-game winning streak.

"They're pretty damn good," Cuban said. "Just the way they play is different than anybody else. That's a big adjustment. They've got those guys that can finish. They get out like the old [Steve Nash] Suns, but they don't stop at the 3-point line. They just try to dunk over you. That makes it tough.

"They're playing a lot different than they did. They were walking the ball up. Now they're not."

Dallas is currently on a 12-game winning streak.

"I didn't say they're going to win a championship," Cuban said of the Heat. "I don't know. I'm not saying they will or won't.

"I'm saying they're the best team in the league right now."
