In whatâs been a strange year for sports, the Mavericks managed to get all six regular-season duals in without adjusting the schedule â which is a feat in itself considering the circumstances this season.
âAs usual, the credit goes to the guys. We only get to see them 2-3 hours a day. They have a life outside of here.
