The 2014-15 Dallas Mavericks finished the NBA regular season with a 50-32 record, securing the seventh seed in the Western Conference. Under head coach Rick Carlisle, the team was bolstered by a mid-season trade acquiring Rajon Rondo from the Boston Celtics, aiming to enhance their playoff prospects.
Offensively, the Mavericks excelled, averaging 105.2 points per game, ranking them third in the league. Dirk Nowitzki led the team, while Monta Ellis provided significant scoring support. However, the Rondo experiment faced challenges, with chemistry issues arising between him and Carlisle.
In the playoffs, the Mavericks faced the Houston Rockets in the first round. Despite a strong effort, they were eliminated in five games, with the series ending 4-1 in favor of Houston. The season highlighted Dallas’s offensive prowess but also underscored the need for defensive improvements and roster adjustments moving forward.
