PHOENIX — Although they’re just one game into their playoff series against the Phoenix Suns, this is a been-there-done-that occasion for the Dallas Mavericks. And they would like to remind their fans that just because they dropped Game 1 of their best-of-seven second-round playoff series to the Suns on Monday, 121-114, the sky isn’t falling.
The Mavs want to remind everyone that they also lost Game 1 of their first-round series against the Utah Jazz, 99-93 – in Dallas. And they recovered nicely and won four of the next five games and the series.
