Standout Moments in Dallas Mavericks History
Although Dallas Mavericks is a relatively new franchise in the NBA, it has enjoyed considerable success over its 37 years of existence. Mentioned below are a few of them.
The 17-Game Winning Streak - The Dallas Mavericks’ 2006-07 NBA season did not finish as well as expected however, it remains a memorable one owing to the team’s multiple winning streaks. The highlight of course was their phenomenal 17-game winning streak that began on January 27, 2007, and ended on March 12, 2007. During this time, the Mavericks outscored their opponents by 102.5 to 89.5, a differential of 13.2.
The contribution of Power Forward Dirk Nowitzki in the winning streak cannot be overlooked. He led the Mavericks to become the first NBA team to record three winning streaks of 12 or more and the fourth team in NBA history to post 3 double-digit winning streaks within the same season. Nowitzki was named MVP for the 2006-07 season.
The Mavericks’ First Championship - Led by LeBron James, Miami Heat were the favorites for the 2010-11 NBA Championship. The Mavericks’ roster didn’t have the star power to challenge mighty Heat at the time.
But Jason Terry’s brilliant shooting and a final push by the legendary Dirk Nowitzki led the team to a rather surprising 105-95 win over Miami Heat at the American Airlines Center on June, 12, 2011.
