The Dallas Mavericks are set to take on the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals. The winner moves on to the Western Conference Finals to take on the Golden State Warriors. The loser gets to start their summer vacation early.
The Mavericks haven’t played in very many Game 7’s over the course of their franchise history. They’ve only participated in seven winner take all matches, partly because they were established in the 1980s. The Boston Celtics, for instance, have played in 33 Game 7’s.
