Luka Doncic identifies the 1 thing that makes the Mavericks truly 'dangerous'

The Dallas Mavericks are coming off one of their most exciting wins of the season after defeating the Golden State Warriors by a score of 143-133 at the Chase Center. Not only did Klay Thompson finally get a win over his former team, but the two franchises combined for an NBA record 48 made threes.

At times throughout the game, both teams couldn't miss no matter who was defending the ball handler. This resulted in a Luka Doncic 45-point triple-double, which got him back in MVP conversations, and a Klay Thompson 29-point performance on his former home floor.

In addition to Thompson and Doncic's brilliance on the floor, P.J. Washington once again proved to fans why he is the team's X-factor this season. Washington scored 13 points on 4-7 shooting from the field but did more than just produce on the offensive end as he finished with a near team-high +20 in the plus-minus department.

Doncic reveals that rebounding is the key to making the Mavs 'dangerous'

While shot-making was the game's name against the Warriors, Doncic revealed in his postgame presser that the key to winning for the Mavericks must be rebounding. This may be easier said than done, but Dallas has shown they are more than capable of dominating the glass on both ends of the floor.

During his post-game press conference, Doncic said "when we rebound the ball, we're a very dangerous team."

While this could be said for any NBA franchise, the Mavericks have proven they can back up Doncic's hot take. With Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II on the current roster, as well as Washington and Doncic, the team is in good hands regarding rebounding the ball on either end of the floor.

In the Mavericks' latest win over the Warriors, the team was in command of the rebounding difference throughout most of the game. By the time the final buzzer rang, the Mavericks held a 47-37 rebounding advantage over a top-two rebounding team this season.

The Mavericks have a lot of improving to do when it comes to rebounding the ball as they don't even rank in the top half of the league in rebounds per game, but with Washington back in the lineup, he has vowed to eliminate Dallas' rebounding woes.

Since the beginning of December, the Mavericks have averaged 47.2 rebounds per game, which has only proven Doncic and Washington's bold statements. Dallas' 47.2 rebounds in December currently puts them fifth in the league over the last 19 days.

In addition to the Mavericks' rebounding explosion over the last month, the team has been the healthiest it has ever been over this stretch.

Since rebounding has become a priority for the Mavericks, the team has gone 12-3 over the last 15 games. This feat not only ranks the team in the top four over the last 15 games, but it has tied them with the Boston Celtics for the best record in the league over that stretch.

While being healthy has largely contributed to the Mavericks' impressive stretch, rebounding has also been a huge reason the Mavericks are 12-3 over their last 15 games. Assuming Dallas can continue dominating on the boards, the Mavericks will likely be a dangerous team in April.
