Mavericks/Lakers Shootaround Report: Statement Game?
The Dallas Mavericks have always seen the San Antonio Spurs as their primary rival, playoff series over the years have created that rivalry. If things hold course, the Mavericks have a chance to create the long-anticipated playoff rivalry against the Los Angeles Lakers in the Conference Semifinals. Fans will get a taste of the experience on Saturday Night as the Mavericks (47-18) and the Lakers (46-20) will square off in a playoff-like atmosphere at the American Airlines Center.
With the Mavericks and the Lakers playing three times this season and the Mavericks already holding a 1-0 lead, the tie-breaker on the line Saturday night. "Every game is a statement game at this point," forward Shawn Marion added. "And I think we’ve just got to be ready and go out and just play our game."
