I remembered watching one of Dallas Mavericks' games when I was in Arizona. It was at the US Airways Center in downtown Phoenix with Jon C. and Brian G. It was a special treat to myself because it was my birthday. We cheered for the hometeam, Phoenix Suns, but Mavs' streak shooting beyond the arc proved too much for Suns to handle.
It was a high scoring game, 112-106 Mavs vs. Suns game.


Here are some photos taken before the game.
