For much of this season, the Dallas Mavericks have been a difficult team to figure out, and on the surface they looked like one of the league’s biggest disappointments during an 8-13 start. Today, we’re joined by The Athletic’s Tim Cato to go behind the scenes of their roller coaster campaign, breaking down all the hurdles that Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis and the Mavs had to clear, and why this team is finally starting to live up to expectations.
