As someone who only follows hockey and football, I hardly watch any basketball games. Sure, I make a March Madness bracket every year, and I’ll loosely follow the NBA playoffs, but actually sitting down to watch a game is a rarity.
But I did just that on Monday night as I turned on Game 1 between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Sun. And while I may know squat about professional basketball, it was pretty clear that the Suns were playing far better. Dallas would turn the ball over, and Phoenix would capitalize.
