Thanks to a pretty offense and the continued brilliance of Dirk Nowitzki, the Dallas Mavericks are back in the playoffs after a two-year absence. Unfortunately for them, they'll face the league-best San Antonio Spurs, who swept Dallas 4-0 in the season series. The last time these teams met in the first round, back in 2010, the Spurs won in six games. The Mavericks are hoping this time will be different.
