Last year the Dallas Mavericks finished the season with the most efficient offensive season in the history of the NBA. But this season they wouldn’t mind setting some out of this world records on the defensive end of the floor.
Thus, while the Mavs have been creating tons of excitement while ripping and running up and down the hardwood with the greatest of ease, the plan this season is to shift into overdrive and add some much-needed defensive flavor to their arsenal. A defensive mindset, coach Rick Carlisle believes, is a better recipe conducive to winning a championship than a team just hanging its hat on being an offensive juggernaut.
