Editing Dallas Mavericks (section)

===Houston Rockets===
An NBA intrastate rivalry, both in Texas linked by I-45, as well as both Dallas and Houston fans traditionally having a disdain for each other's city, the rivalry started when the Mavericks were the last Texas team to join the NBA. This is also known as the I-45 rivalry because they both lie on [[Interstate 45]]. In the Mavericks' inaugural season in 1980–81, the Rockets won all six meetings including a 116–68 win.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/198102040HOU.html |title=Dallas Mavericks at Houston Rockets Box Score, February 4, 1981 |work=Basketball-Reference.com |access-date=June 30, 2015 |archive-date=April 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150424123212/http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/198102040HOU.html |url-status=live}}</ref> In the playoffs, the Mavericks defeated the Rockets in the 1988 and 2005 playoffs, the latter of which was plagued with allegations of game-fixing,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterockets/2008/06/donaghy-points-smoking-gun-at-rockets-series-misfires/ |title=Donaghy points smoking gun at Rockets series, misfires |work=Ultimate Rockets |date=June 11, 2008 |access-date=June 30, 2015 |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304074609/http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterockets/2008/06/donaghy-points-smoking-gun-at-rockets-series-misfires/ |url-status=live}}</ref> while the Rockets swept several season series with the Mavericks during the 1990s, and also during the Rockets' championship years. On April 11, 1995, the Mavericks defeated the Rockets 156–147 in double overtime, making that win one of their most memorable victories against Houston who were the reigning champions. Two years later, the Rockets and Mavericks have clashed in their first-ever regular season game played in [[Mexico City]], which was won by the Rockets 108–106. In the 2010s, the rivalry has once again flourished with Dallas owner [[Mark Cuban]] and Rockets general manager [[Daryl Morey]] taking shots at each other on social media, as well as Houston fan-favorite [[Chandler Parsons]] signing an offer sheet to leave the Rockets to sign with the rival Mavericks for $46&nbsp;million, while making negative statements about the city of Houston upon leaving,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://houston.cbslocal.com/2014/10/08/chandler-parsons-calls-houston-dirty/ |title=Chandler Parsons Calls Houston 'Dirty' |date=October 8, 2014 |access-date=June 30, 2015 |archive-date=July 5, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150705074705/http://houston.cbslocal.com/2014/10/08/chandler-parsons-calls-houston-dirty/ |url-status=live}}</ref> causing massive backlash among Rockets fans. Finally, longtime Mavericks' player [[Jason Terry]], who was a starter on the Mavericks' 2011 championship team, joined the Rockets for the [[2014–15 NBA season|2014–15 season]], and both teams met in the first round of the [[2015 NBA playoffs]], with the Rockets as the second seed and Mavericks the seventh seed, and the Rockets got the best of them 4–1.
