Only a day after getting eliminated from the NBA Playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks have fired coach Avery Johnson. Johnson had a .735 winning percentage in the regular season in 264 games with the Mavs, but was 23-24 in the postseason.
Dallas lost 99-94 last night against the New Orleans Hornets that gave NO a 4-1 series victory. This is the second year in a row the Mavericks have exited in the first round. Last year they won 67 games in the regular season, but lost to the Golden State Warriors.
