History has to be remembered and taught lest it disappear eternally.
Take, for example, the Mavericks’ Friday night matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. It was a game that at times seemed tantalizingly close and at other times seemed to be on the verge of a 40+ point deficit. But the Mavericks kept the sold-out crowd engaged by way of the three ball. Although Dallas lost 122-107, the team managed to tie the franchise record for most 3-pointers made (22).
Recording this piece of history was all well and good, but it ultimately didn’t include a Mavericks victory; a theme that would show up in other ways on this night.
