When the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns last met, Luka Doncic and the Mavs pummeled the Suns on their own floor in Game 7 of last season's Western Conference semifinals.
The NBA loves a good storyline, so it's no surprise that the two teams are facing off again at the Footprint Center tonight to open the new season.
After ending a 64-win season by being bounced from the playoffs in such humiliating fashion, it was a pretty tumultuous offseason for the Suns as a franchise off of the court due to a mess involving the eventual re-signing of center Deandre Ayton and the issues surrounding owner Robert Sarver's conduct.
So, it will certainly be interesting to see if Phoenix is able to hit the ground running and gain a measure of revenge against Dallas, or if the Mavs will kick off a run at a Western Conference title with another impressive win at the Footprint Center.
