Rajon Rondo had six points, seven rebounds, nine assists, two steals and four charges in his debut with the Dallas Mavericks, a 99-93 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
“I love it here,’’ Rondo said. “The fans have been great, the reception tonight was amazing, and that’s what it’s all about.’’
“I think he did a great job — he scored 38 points,’’ Rondo said of Ellis. “I didn’t hold him back too much.
“We both like to dominate the ball, but I think we played well off each other tonight, along with Devin [Harris] as well.’’
“It’s not going to take long, for the most part it’s basketball. I’ve been watching these guys from afar.
“It’s NBA players, I have the [NBA League Pass], I watch them all the time and they know how to play off each other. It’s a very intelligent team, I’m not too far behind, and I’ll keep watching film and keep learning my guys’ system.’’
