on a ... run

“We’re like a college basketball team on an 18-2 run,” said Craig Kallman, Atlantic’s chairman and chief executive.

Does the bold part mean 'on a dead run'?

Thanks.

No, and it does not quite make sense, since a run is an unbroken series of wins or losses. I guess they lost 2 games and since then have won 18 games.
