It’s the Dallas Mavericks. It’s the Golden State Warriors.
It’s probably time to pray, too.
The Mavericks will take on the two-time Western Conference champions for the first time this year Wednesday, which means a couple of notable things: Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut return to Golden State for the first time since Dallas acquired them in the summer, and Dallas will get its first look at the new-look Warriors with Kevin Durant joining forces with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
Dallas has picked a good time to play some good basketball, which included its first win of the year Sunday, followed up with a strong showing against the young Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday.
