Mavericks revenge is a dish best served with Heat.

2006: Broken Heart. 2011: Torn Tendon. Ugh.

After Big Win in Miami, Mavs Look Like the Best Team Out There. Yup, I Just Said That.

Sam Merten​The Mavericks are calling themselves streak busters after ending the Heat's 12-game winning streak in Miami, but they should be calling themselves the best team in the NBA at this point in the season.
