Dallas Mavericks Rivalries

Dallas Mavericks vs. San Antonio Spurs
This Texas rivalry, often referred to as the “I-35 Rivalry,” is one of the most intense in NBA history. The Spurs and Mavericks have met in the playoffs numerous times, including memorable series in the 2000s, with the 2006 and 2014 playoff matchups being particularly heated. Both teams were consistently strong during the 2000s, and their battles often decided the fate of the Western Conference. The rivalry remains strong due to their frequent high-stakes encounters.
