The Difference is a recap of the game that was, with one bullet point for each point in the final margin.
- Basketball is back! And what a glorious way to the season as the Mavericks beat the Suns in blowout fashion. The story was all about defense with the new Mavericks’ squad and a hot third quarter. Seriously, this is a new Mavericks’ squad.
- Zaza Pachulia had his fingerprints all over this game on offense and defense. His effort was the biggest highlight that won’t show up in the box score.
