Dallas Mavericks seasons | |
< 2009–10 | 2011–12 > |
The 2010–11 Dallas Mavericks season was the 31st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Mavericks won the NBA Championship after defeating the Miami Heat in 6 games in the 2011 NBA Finals.[1] The Mavs playoff run came with a 6 game first round series against the Portland Trail Blazers, a series in which the Mavs blew a 23 point lead in Game 4, but still won the series. In the conference semi-finals, the Mavs run was motivated with a sweep of the champions of the previous two seasons, the Los Angeles Lakers. The series against the Lakers also became the birth of the Mavs Royal Blue-Out games in the AAC, with almost all fans wearing t-shirts that read "The Time is Now". In the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Mavs won the last 3 games winning by 4th quarter comebacks, to win their second Western Conference Championship, and a trip to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2006, with a rematch against the Heat. With a disappointing Game 1, the Mavs pulled the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history in Game 2 to even the series at 1 game a piece. After a loss in Game 3, the Mavs won the last two games in Dallas to take a 3–2 series lead heading to Game 6 in Miami. The Mavericks won their first NBA Championship in Game 6 to clinch the first major sports championship in the DFW area since the 1999 Dallas Stars, and the first title in Mavs franchise history. The Mavs are the third and final team to win an NBA title in the state of Texas, joining the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs. The Mavs are also the third team to win a major sports championship in the DFW area, joining the Dallas Cowboys five Super Bowl titles and the Dallas Stars only Stanley Cup, leaving the Texas Rangers to be the last team to a win major sports title in the area, when they win their 1st World Series. The Mavericks championship parade was held on June 16, 2011 in downtown Dallas.
