Dallas Mavericks Rivalries
Dallas has been a good team for much of the last decade, earning seven trips to the playoffs. That’s earned them a significant number of rivals. Here are a few of Dallas’ most prominent rivals.
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.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets
Another Texas-based rivalry, the Mavericks and Rockets have a long-standing feud known as the “I-45 Rivalry.” The teams have met in several hard-fought playoff series, the most notable being in 2005 when the Mavs won a seven-game series. The rivalry extends beyond the court, with figures like Mavs owner Mark Cuban and former Rockets GM Daryl Morey exchanging jabs, adding to the intensity of their competition.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Miami Heat
The Mavericks’ rivalry with the Miami Heat is centered around their two NBA Finals matchups in 2006 and 2011. In 2006, the Mavs lost to the Heat after taking a 2-0 series lead, but in 2011, they got their revenge, defeating the LeBron James-led Heat to claim their first NBA title. This Finals rematch cemented the Heat as one of the Mavs’ most significant rivals.
