In the Mavericks 140-106 blowout-win over the Lakers on 11/21/14, Nowitzki (23), Parsons (21), Ellis (20), Barea (16), Aminu (13), Brandan Wright (12), Jameer Nelson (10) and Jae Crowder (10) each recorded 10-plus points. Despite resting Rajon Rondo, Chandler and Nowitzki at Denver on 1/14/15, the Mavericks still finished with eight players in double figures (including all five reserves that played): Barea (17), Jefferson (16), Parsons (13), Devin Harris (13), Charlie Villanueva (11), Dwight Powell (11), Raymond Felton (10) and Aminu (10). On 2/20/15 against Houston, Al-Farouq Aminu (17), Devin Harris (17), Chandler Parsons (13), Rajon Rondo (13), Charlie Villanueva (13), Dirk Nowitzki (12), Monta Ellis (12) and Tyson Chandler (10) each scored in double figures. Prior to the 2014-15 season, the last time the Mavericks had eight players score in double digits was 2/16/11 versus Sacramento. The franchise record for most players in double figures is nine (11/6/86 at Seattle and 4/23/87 vs. Seattle). NOWITZKIS 13TH ALL-STAR APPEARANCE: Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki played in his 13th career All-Star Game in 2015. It was his 13th All-Star appearance in the last 14 years. Nowitzki had a run of 11 consecutive All-Star selections before that streak came to an end in 2013 after he missed the first 27 games of the season recovering from surgery to his right knee. The big German appeared as a Western Conference reserve at the 2015 NBA All-Star Game in New York and had five points, five boards and two steals in 12 minutes. CRAZY COMEBACK: The Mavericks pulled off an improbable comeback against the Blazers on 2/7/15. Dallas trailed by 11 (94-83) with under 2 minutes to go in regulation, but closed the fourth quarter on a 13-2 run (capped off by a Dirk Nowitzki 3-pointer with 20.9 seconds left) to tie the game at 96 and force overtime. Dallas then began the overtime period on a 9-0 run to go up 105-96 with 2:20 left. The run (that spanned from the 1:55 mark of the fourth quarter through the 2:20 mark of overtime) was a 22-2 blitz. The Mavericks closed the game (fourth quarter and overtime) on a 28-7 run en route to a 111-101 win. Chandler Parsons scored 10 of Dallas 15 points in overtime. The last time that the Mavericks won by overcoming a double-digit deficit in the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter came on 1/18/01, when they erased a 93-82 Orlando lead to win in overtime, 115-106.

CARLISLE RECORDS 600TH WIN: Mavericks Head Coach Rick Carlisle recorded his 600th career win at Miami on 1/30/15 (Dallas defeated Miami, 93-72).

TOO MUCH MONTA: Monta Ellis scored a Maverick career-high 38 points twice this year: at Chicago (12/2/14) and versus San Antonio (12/20/14). In both games, Ellis willed Dallas to victory. Ellis 38-point effort at Chicago (12/2/14) helped Dallas pull out a 132-129 double-overtime win. He went 16-of-35 (.457) from the floor on the night. Ellis, who logged 45 minutes against the Bulls, scored 28 of his 38 points after intermission. He forced overtime by hitting three clutch free throws with 1.2 seconds remaining that knotted the game at 108. Ellis also scored seven of Dallas 11 points in double-overtime, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 39.9 seconds left (that put the Mavericks up 130-129 and proved to be the game-winner). Ellis (7) nearly singlehandedly outscored the entire Bulls team (8) in the second overtime period. On 12/20/14 versus San Antonio, Ellis delivered another impressive performance, carrying the Mavericks to a 99-93 win over the Spurs. He scored 13 of his game-high 38 points (15-23 FGs, 5-6 3FGs, 3-6 FTs) in the fourth quarter, including 11 of Dallas final 13 points. All 13 of his fourth-quarter points came in the games final 5:38 (including 11 in the final 3:32).

The 29 points were the second-most ever scored by an ex-Celtic in his first game against Boston (Danny Ainge scored 39 points for the Kings vs. Boston on 12/27/89).

It marked the first time since 1/25/11 versus the L.A. Clippers that Dallas had four players score 20-plus points in the same game. Just five games later (vs. New Orleans on 12/10/14), the Mavericks accomplished the feat again (and with the same four players). Ellis (26), Parsons (20), Nowitzki (20) and Harris (20) each scored 20-plus points for Dallas in a 112-107 win over the Pelicans. It marked the first time since 2007-08 that Dallas had four players score 20-or-more points twice in the same season. That year, Dallas accomplished the feat 11/8/07 at Golden State and 2/29/08 versus Sacramento. Ellis (11-of-19), Parsons (8-of-13), Harris (8-of-13) and Nowitzki (8-of-16) each made at least half of their field goal attempts in Dallas win over New Orleans on 12/10/14. It was the first time since 3/24/86 at Indiana that the Mavericks had four players score 20-plus points and make at least half of their field goal attempts in a regulation game (when Mark Aguirre, Rolando Blackman, Jay Vincent and Brad Davis each did it). MAVS TIE FRANCHISE RECORD FOR 3-POINTERS MADE IN A GAME TWICE THIS YEAR: The Mavericks went 18-of-35 (.514) from beyond the arc against the L.A. Lakers on 11/21/14 and 18-of-40 (.450) from deep at Memphis on 12/9/14, twice tying the franchise record for the most 3-pointers made in a regular-season game. The Mavericks hit 18 3-pointers in a game twice this year, after they did so just three times in the teams previous 34 seasons (Dallas went 18-of-37 from 3-point range at Denver on 2/29/96, 18-of-49 vs. New Jersey on 3/5/96 and 18-of-40 at Atlanta on 1/15/02). The 35 3-point attempts against the Lakers (11/21/14) were the fewest needed to tie the franchise mark. The Mavericks connected on 51.4 percent of their 35 3-point attempts against Los Angeles, the highest 3-point percentage Dallas has ever posted while attempting at least 30 triples in a regular-season game (the previous best was .486, 18-of-37, set at Denver on 2/29/96). J.J. Barea went a perfect 5-for-5 from deep against the Lakers. Monta Ellis (3), Chandler Parsons (2), Dirk Nowitzki (2), Jameer Nelson (2), Jae Crowder (2), Al-Farouq Aminu (1) and Richard Jefferson (1) combined for the other 13 treys against the Lakers. In the game at Memphis on 12/9/14, Parsons (6) and Nelson (4) combined for 10 of Dallas 18 triples.

MONTAS GAME-WINNER: Mavericks guard Monta Ellis hit an 18-foot game-winning fadeaway jumper at the buzzer to give the Mavericks a 107-105 win over Milwaukee on 12/3/14. It marked the sixth time in his career that Ellis made a game-winning basket in the final 5 seconds of a game. It was also his fourth career buzzer-beater (and his second with the Mavericks). Ellis buzzer-beater came just one night after he led Dallas to a 132-129 double-overtime win at Chicago on 12/2/14 (he scored a game-high 38 points against the Bulls). He finished with 23 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter (8 in the final 1:34), to go along with a game-high seven assists and three steals in 36 minutes at Milwaukee on 12/3/14. Ellis made his first game-winning shot in the final 5 seconds of a contest since 12/7/13 at Portland (when he hit a 21-foot jumper at the buzzer to give the Mavericks a 108-106 victory over the Blazers). Ellis other game-winning baskets in the final 5 seconds include: 1/24/07 versus New Jersey (with the Warriors), 1/19/11 versus Indiana (Warriors), 2/22/12 at Phoenix (Warriors) and 2/27/13 at Houston (Bucks).

It also marked the second-highest rebounding game of Chandlers career (he had a career-high 28 rebounds vs. Golden State on 2/27/13). The 25 rebounds were the most by any NBA player this season (Orlandos Nikola Vucevic had the previous high total with 23 at New Orleans on 10/28/14). Chandler, who played the previous three seasons with the Knicks (2011-14), grabbed 25 boards in his first game against New York since being traded to Dallas in June. Only two players have totaled as many rebounds in their first game against a former team. Charles Barkley recorded 33 rebounds for the Rockets at Phoenix on 11/2/96 and Wilt Chamberlain had 29 boards for the 76ers against the San Francisco Warriors on 1/21/65.

Chandler went 5-for-5 from the field versus Utah on 10/30/14 and 7-for-7 from the floor at Charlotte on 11/17/14. TYSON DOMINATING THE PAINT: Tyson Chandler has been a beast in the middle for Dallas this season. Chandler ranks second in the NBA with 156 dunks this year. He also ranks third in offensive rebounds per game (4.0) and fifth in rebounds per game (11.5). Chandler is shooting 67.3 percent from the field this season.

The 76 points in the paint tied a franchise record (also had 76 vs. the L.A. Clippers 4/4/02). In fact, the game against the Clippers on 4/4/02 was the only other time Dallas recorded 70-plus points in the paint (the NBA began tracking the statistic in 2000-01). MAVS SET FRANCHISE RECORD FOR MARGIN OF VICTORY IN WIN OVER 76ERS: The Mavericks set a new franchise record for largest margin of victory (53) in a 123-70 win over the Sixers at home on 11/13/14. The previous record was 50, set at New York on 1/24/10 (when the Mavericks defeated the Knicks 127-78 at Madison Square Garden). The 53-point win over Philadelphia is the largest margin of victory by one opponent over another since the Lakers beat the Cavaliers by 55 (112-57) at the STAPLES Center on 1/11/11. Dallas never trailed at any point (there were no ties) and held a 28-point advantage (38-10) after one. It marked a franchise record for the largest lead after one quarter of play. The previous high first-quarter margin was 24 (Dallas led 44-20 after one quarter vs. Cleveland on 11/15/86 and went on to win 111-96; Dallas also led 40-16 vs. Detroit on 11/19/05 and went on to win 119-82). The Mavericks built a big lead early, and it would only grow from there. Dallas outshot Philadelphia 58.5 percent (24-of-41) to 25.7 percent (9-of-35) from the floor in the first half and led by 44 (73-29) at the break. The 44-point half-time lead marked a franchise record. The Mavericks previous high half-time margin was 39 (Dallas led 75-36 at the half at New York on 12/21/04 and went on to win 123-94). Whats more, the 44-point advantage at the half was tied for the second-largest lead by any team after 24 minutes in NBA history (the Warriors led the Kings by 47 points, 88-41, on 11/2/91, and the SuperSonics led the Celtics by 44 points, 75-31, in the first game of a doubleheader at the Spectrum in Philadelphia on 11/23/67). The Mavericks were up by 42 (95-53) going into the fourth quarter. It tied the franchises largest margin after three quarters of play (Dallas led 95-53 after three quarters vs. Detroit on 11/9/02 and went on to win 114-75). The Mavericks led by as many as 58 points in the fourth quarter and cruised to a 123-70 win. The Mavericks outshot the Sixers 51.3 percent (41-of-80) to 29.9 percent (23-of-77) from the field on the night.

The Mavericks recorded 33 assists on 41 made field goals (compared to the Sixers nine assists on 23 made baskets). MAVS RALLY FROM 24 DOWN TO BEAT KINGS: The Mavericks overcame a 24-point deficit to defeat the Kings at home on 11/11/14 (Dallas trailed 44-20 with 8:46 to go in the second quarter but came back to win 106-98). It was tied for the third-largest comeback in franchise history. Dallas also came back from 24 down to beat Toronto in both 2005-06 and 2007-08 (both at home). The Mavericks beat the Raptors 115-113 in overtime on 2/25/06 (after trailing 86-62 with 6:01 to go in the third quarter) and also came back from 24 down to beat Toronto 105-99 on 11/20/07 (after trailing 49-25 with 5:58 left in the second). The largest deficit the Mavericks overcame in team history was 29 versus Minnesota on 12/30/08 (trailed 70-41 with 10:26 remaining in the third and came back to win 107-100). The second-largest was 25 at Denver on 11/26/94 (trailed 62-37 with 1:05 to go in the second and came back to win 124-123 in overtime). With the victory over the Kings on 11/11/14, the Mavericks have now won 21 consecutive home games against the Kings (2004-present). Its their longest ever home winning streak against one


opponent (Dallas previous long home winning streak against any team was 16 vs. Golden State from 1982-88). The Kings have not won in Dallas since 2/27/03, when they recorded a 126-124 overtime-victory. 20,000 MANIAACS: Since 12/15/01, Dallas has sold out 547 regular-season home games, which is an NBA-best-sellout streak. Dallas has also sold out an additional 63 playoff games during that same stretch. The listed capacity for American Airlines Center is 19,200 but that can be surpassed because of attendance in the suites. Since moving into American Airlines Center (2001-02 season), the Mavericks have posted a record of 416-142 (.746) at home during the regular season. The Mavericks 140-106 victory over the L.A. Lakers on 11/21/14 was their 400th win at the AAC. Dallas has sold out all of its games in each of the past 12 seasons. DIRK ON THE ALL-TIME FREE THROWS LIST: Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki has shot 6,705-of-7,630 (.879) from the line for his career and ranks 11th all-time in free throws made. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Dolph Schayes rank tied for ninth with 6,712 career free throws. Abdul-Jabbar (6,712) is the only 7-footer with more career made free throws than Nowitzki. The big German passed Bob Pettit (6,182), Reggie Miller (6,237), Charles Barkley (6,349) and Allen Iverson (6,375) on the NBAs all-time free throws made list in 2013-14. Nowitzki shot 89.9 percent (338-of-376) from the line in 2013-14, which ranked second in the NBA (New Orleans Brian Roberts shot a league-high .940, 125-of-133). It marked the third time in his career that Nowitzki finished second in the league in free throw percentage (also: 2006-07 and 2009-10).

The Mavericks made a big trade with New York on 6/25/14, bringing back the defensive anchor from their 2011 title team, Tyson Chandler, and also acquiring veteran guard Raymond Felton in exchange for center Samuel Dalembert, guards Jose Calderon, Wayne Ellington and Shane Larkin and two 2014 second-round draft picks. On 7/14/14, the Mavericks acquired big man Greg Smith from Chicago in exchange for the rights to Tadija Dragicevic. On 7/15/14, Dallas re-signed 13-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki and also signed forward Chandler Parsons, who was a restricted free agent with the Rockets. Dallas re-signed veteran guard Devin Harris on 7/17/14. The Mavericks signed veteran forward Richard Jefferson on 7/21/14. Dallas signed forward Al-Farouq Aminu on 7/29/14 and veteran forward Charlie Villanueva on 9/23/14. On 10/29/14, the Mavericks brought back guard J.J. Barea, another key player from their 2011 title team (signing him as a free agent). The Mavericks made another blockbuster trade on 12/18/14, acquiring four-time All-Star Rajon Rondo and center/forward Dwight Powell from Boston in exchange for center Brandan Wright, forward Jae Crowder, guard Jameer Nelson, a 2015 first round pick and a 2016 second round pick. Dallas signed six-time All-Star Amare Stoudemire on 2/18/15. After signing him to a pair of 10-day contracts, the Mavericks signed center Bernard James for the remainder of the season on 3/3/15. The roster currently stands at 15 players. Eleven of the 15 were not with the Mavericks last season (Aminu, Barea, Chandler, Felton, Jefferson, Parsons, Powell, Rondo, Smith, Stoudemire and Villanueva). However, four are in their second stint with Dallas (Barea, Chandler, Harris and James) and three were members of the Mavericks 2011 NBA championship team (Nowitzki, Chandler and Barea). The Mavericks also have a number of veterans with playoff experience. Jefferson (2002, 2003), Nowitzki (2006, 2011), Harris (2006), Rondo (2008, 2010), Chandler (2011) and Barea (2011) have each appeared in the NBA Finals. 2013-14 SEASON RECAP: The Dallas Mavericks finished one win shy of their 14th 50-win season in franchise history in 2013-14 (49-33, .598). Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas in scoring with 21.7 points per game en route to earning his 12th career All-Star selection. Monta Ellis spent his first season in Dallas and joined Nowitzki to form one of the leagues most dynamic scoring tandems. Ellis averaged a team-high 5.7 assists per game to go along with his 19.0 points per contest. Dallas appeared in the postseason for the 13th time in the last 14 years (19th time in franchise history) and entered the NBA Playoffs as the eighth seed in the Western Conference. The Mavericks took the eventual NBA champion San Antonio Spurs to seven games in the first round, a feat no other team was able to achieve throughout the duration of the playoffs. HISTORY OF THE FRANCHISE: The Dallas Mavericks, now in their 35th season, have won three division titles (1987, 2007, 2010) and made 19 playoff appearances (including 12 straight from 2001-12). The Mavericks have made four Western Conference Finals appearances (1988, 2003, 2006, 2011) and advanced to the NBA Finals twice (2006 and 2011). Dallas captured its first NBA championship in 2011.


HEAD COACH RICK CARLISLE Virginia 12 Years Head Coaching Experience Career Regular Season Record (13th Season): 611-424 (.590); Career Playoff Record: 56-54 (.509) Regular Season Record with Dallas (7th Season): 330-213 (.608); Playoff Record with Dallas: 26-22 (.542) Rick Carlisle is in his seventh season as the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. He was hired by Dallas in May of 2008, and is the third-longest tenured head coach in the league behind San Antonios Gregg Popovich (hired in December 1996) and Miamis Erick Spoelstra (April 2008). Carlisle signed a contract extension with the club on May 15, 2012, after leading the Mavericks to the postseason in each of his first four seasons at the helm. Carlisle has led his team to the playoffs 10 times in his 12 seasons as a head coach. He guided the Mavericks to their first-ever world championship in 2011, becoming one of only 11 individuals to win an NBA championship as both a player and a head coach (he won a title as a player with Boston in 1986). Carlisle recorded his 500th career win against Portland on Feb. 6, 2013, becoming the 28th coach in NBA history to reach the milestone. Carlisle was named the ninth Dallas coach in franchise history on May 9, 2008. He joined the Mavericks after spending six seasons, with Detroit and Indiana, as a head coach. Carlisle recorded his 300th win with Dallas at Toronto on Nov. 28, 2014. He served as an ESPN studio analyst during the 2007-08 NBA season before coming to Dallas. Carlisle began his head coaching career with Detroit. During his two-season tenure, the Pistons won 61 percent (100-64) of their games to go along with two Central Division championships and one trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. Following his first season as head coach in 2002, Carlisle earned the NBAs Coach of the Year award. Carlisle joined Indiana as the head coach on Sept. 2, 2003. In his first year, Carlisle led the Pacers to the NBAs best record (61-21), the most victories in franchise history, the best winning percentage in team history (.744) and a Central Division championship. He also led the Pacers to the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals where they eventually lost to the Pistons.

Carlisle, including his previous two seasons with Detroit, became the first coach since Pat Riley to win 50 games and division championships in each of his first three seasons as a head coach. Overall, Carlisle earned a 181-147 (.552) regular season record in Indiana and led the team to three consecutive postseason appearances before stepping down following the 2006-07 campaign. A native of Ogdensburg, N.Y., Carlisle began his coaching career in 1989 as an assistant with the New Jersey Nets. In five seasons with the Nets, he had the opportunity to work under Hall of Fame coaching legends Bill Fitch and Chuck Daly. Carlisle then moved on to Portland, where he spent three seasons as an assistant under P.J. Carlesimo before joining former teammate Larry Birds staff in Indiana during the summer of 1997. In 1984, Carlisle began his NBA career as the only rookie to make the Boston Celtics roster. He spent three seasons in Boston and enjoyed his best year as a pro when he averaged 9.9 minutes in 77 games for the 1986 world champions. He then played one year with the New York Knicks under head coach Rick Pitino before moving on to New Jersey, where he played briefly for Fitch before being offered an assistant coaching position with the franchise.
