The 2002–03 NBA season was the Mavericks' 23rd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the off-season, the Mavericks signed free agents Walt Williams,[2] and Raja Bell.[3] The Mavericks started the season strong by winning their first fourteen games of the season, which was one win shy of tying the NBA record set by the 1948–49 Washington Capitols and the 1993–94 Houston Rockets (15–0).[4] They later held a 38–10 record at the All-Star break,[5] and finished with a 60–22 record and lost the tie-breaker with the Spurs for the Midwest Division title.[6]

Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash were both selected to play in the 2003 NBA All-Star Game. It was the second straight All-Star appearance for both players.[7] Nowitzki averaged 25.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team, while Nash averaged 17.7 points and 7.3 assists per game, and was named to the All-NBA Third Team. In addition, Michael Finley provided the team with 19.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, while sixth man Nick Van Exel contributed 12.5 points and 4.3 assists per game off the bench, and Raef LaFrentz provided with 9.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.[8] Nowitzki finished in seventh place in Most Valuable Player voting, while Van Exel finished in fourth place in Sixth Man of the Year voting.[9]

The Mavericks defeated the Portland Trail Blazers in a tough seven game Western Conference First Round series.[10][11][12] Although they lost Game 1 at home against the Sacramento Kings in the Western Conference Semi-finals, 124–113,[13] they came back to win Game 2, where Kings captain Chris Webber suffered a season-ending knee injury. It would be the "Nick Van Exel Show" as he scored 36 points to tie the series 1–1, with a 132–110 win.[14][15] In Game 3 at the ARCO Arena, Van Exel scored a career and playoff-high of 40 points to help the Mavericks take the series 2–1, with a 141-137 double-overtime win.[16] Dallas defeated the Kings in seven games to advance to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 1988,[17][18][19] where they met their in-state rival, the San Antonio Spurs. However, after losing Nowitzki to a knee injury in Game 3,[20][21] the Mavericks would go on to lose the series in six games.[22][23][24] San Antonio won its second NBA Championship defeating the New Jersey Nets in six games in the Finals.[25][26][27]

Following the season, Van Exel was traded to the Golden State Warriors,[28][29] while LaFrentz was traded to the Boston Celtics,[30][31] Adrian Griffin signed as a free agent with the Houston Rockets,[32] Bell signed with the Utah Jazz, and Williams retired.
