	Dallas Mavericks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By 1988, they had become a Western Conference power going 53-29 and gave the Magic Johnson-led Los Angeles Lakers all they could handle in the conference finals, but Lakers were at height of their run, defeating the Mavs on their way to a second consecutive championship.
		However, that was the end of their successes for a while, as Roy Tarpley's suspension for drugs as well as the refusal of Adrian Dantley to report to the team after being traded and injuries to key players left the Mavs out of the playoffs.
		Despite a playoff appearance in 1990, the next few years were horrible for the team, as Tarpley continued to have troubles and was banned for life.
