THUMB AWARD TEAM MEMBERS AREN’T THE ONLY MAVERICKS

Well, the Mavericks, an expansion team in the National Basketball Association, were way short of that mark. They won only 15 games, which was the worst record among the league’s 23 teams. Dallas, however, ranked 18th in attendance, ahead of such teams as New Jersey, Detroit, and San Diego, with an average of 7789 fans per game.
