NBA teams are shattering records. Not even two weeks into the season, scoring is up across the board and games are being played a breakneck speeds. It’s an outburst that has been brewing for some time.
It’s also one that the Dallas Mavericks have seemingly embraced. While the team has been at the forefront of offensive innovation, this is something new. It’s the beginning of a new era, not only for the Mavericks, but for the league.
“I’m sure Dick Harter is turning over in his grave right now. He was a coach on the Knicks in the 90s and I worked with him for many years,” Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle said after the team’s 140-136 win over the Timberwolves.
