Most mammals were much smaller than the dinosaurs and they were therefore better able to adapt to the conditions that brought the dinosaurs down. For example, a large dinosaur that ate vegetation would have died very soon if most vegetation was wiped out in a catastrophic event. Small mammals could still dig and forgage and make do with roots. It must have been horrific for everything alive at that time, but the very small creatures had the edge.
