Dallas Mavericks: 5 takeaways from the season-opening loss to Suns

Dallas Mavericks basketball is officially back. They opened the regular season on Wednesday night in Phoenix against the Suns. Luka Doncic looked to get the Mavs off on the right foot in a difficult road game.

It was the first game in a Suns uniform for Chris Paul and Jae Crowder. The two talented veterans join an exciting young team featuring Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. The Mavericks pursued Crowder this offseason, but the veteran chose the long-term deal with the Suns.
