MAVS MOVE ON TO NBA FINALS

Finishing the season with a record of 60-22 (tied record for franchise best), the Mavs claimed the fourth seed and made the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.

The Mavs continued their record-setting ways as they defeated Memphis 4-0 in the First Round. This was the first four-game sweep in a seven-game series in franchise history, which pitted the club against the top-seeded Spurs. Dallas fought through the tough, seven-game series to overcome their I-35 archrival for the right to face the Suns in the Western Conference Finals. In their third-ever Conference Finals appearance, the Mavs defeated the Suns 4-2, to make their first trip to the NBA Finals.
