January 6th- Mavericks @ Thunder

This game is one that Mavericks fans will undoubtedly be ready for when it finally comes around in January. The Oklahoma City Thunder knocked the Mavs out of the playoffs last year and it wasn’t a pretty sight.

Between the dangerous combination of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, the Mavs were no match for the Thunder. Dallas tried to stay physical and the games got very chippy at times, but in the end it was not close.

Now that OKC is without Durant, the Mavs may have the upper hand in the matchup. It will be a sweet day when Dallas can overtake the Thunder again. There is no doubt that Mavs fans all over will be licking their lips when the Thunder are no longer a powerhouse in the West.
