Cuban admits to Mavs' tank tactic

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said on Wednesday he made moves to lower his team's chances to win in order to "tank" games after being eliminated from NBA playoff contention.

The famously outspoken owner said told radio interviewer Dan Patrick he made the moves to obtain a poorer record in order to improve the team's chances of gaining a high pick from the NBA Draft lottery.

"Once we were eliminated from the playoffs, we did everything possible to lose games," Cuban said.
