Dallas isn’t trying to run with the new-look Phoenix Suns.
“I feel like if we can just slow them down in transition, kind of make it a half-court game for them and get physical and make their buckets tough, I think we give ourselves a better chance than if we just try to track meet the whole game,” Mavericks guard Josh Richardson said.
The Mavericks see the Suns as a formidable foe in the season opener for both teams Wednesday night at the renovated Phoenix Suns Arena.
“They’ve improved their team,” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said.
