I Dallas Mavericks di Rick Carlisle, dopo una stagione un po’ altalenante e qualche infortunio di troppo, sono riusciti a qualificarsi al sesto posto della Western Conference. Al primo turno dei Playoffs sfideranno gli Oklahoma City Thunder. In regular season, i Mavericks hanno racimolato un impietoso 4-0 contro KD e soci, ma WunderDirk, giunto alla sua 15esima post season, farà di tutto per dire la sua e mettere i bastoni tra le ruote ai Thunder.
Vediamo la scheda dei Dallas Mavericks.
