The Mavs went into Game 4 looking to build off of their success in Game 3 of the series. Despite a strong defensive outing in Game 3, the national media would rather point to an uncharacteristic Suns performance. Dallas knew they had to protect their home court, because you can’t head back to Phoenix down 3-1. There were a few …
This Utah series has been filled with interesting story lines; most notably, Luka’s injury status and the exceptional play of Jalen Brunson as the number one option. Who would’ve imagined a bigger story line than the biggest Mavs fan there is, Rudy Gobert’s bee. Gobert posted a picture with a swollen face as a result of a bee sting. Apparently, Gobert …

But that’s not to say Kleber won’t be a steady offensive contributor come playoff time. What makes shooters great is the ability to step into every shot with the confidence, which Maxi continues …
It doesn’t take an expert to understand the importance of securing a top-4 spot, and home court advantage, in the Western Conference. The Mavericks have won 11 of their last 14, a league best, with key victories coming against Boston, Utah, and the exclamation point dagger coming last night from Spencer Dinwiddie over the Brooklyn Nets.
