I had every intention of searching through the Maverick playoff history and see what games they’ve played on Mother’s Day throughout their 40 years in Dallas.
Then the puppy we’d adopted came home a day early. So I didn’t do that.
Instead, I’m remembering just one Mother’s Day Massacre, in 2011. It was the close out game where Jason Terry went bananas and Andre Bynum committed assault. Compared to what some of the flagrant fouls we’ve seen this postseason. This game won’t be anything like that game, I suspect. After all the stakes are different, with our Mavericks hoping to tie the series then make it a best 2 out of 3 contests.
