It has thus far been a tumultuous postseason run for the Dallas Mavericks. Luka Doncic had a delayed return because of a calf strain. Jalen Brunson has been a roller coaster experience. Maxi Kleber was momentarily possessed by the ghost of Ray Allen. Through it all, perhaps no Maverick has been as consistent and as critical as Reggie Bullock.
He’s been Dallas’ two-way iron man, playing close to 40 minutes in nearly every game, even the crucial, series-ending Game 6 in Utah where he was, according to coach Jason Kidd, “sick as a dog.”
It’s been said that to beat the Suns, Dallas needs to play essentially perfectly.
