Luka Doncic’s dominance, Kristaps Porzingis’ exit make Rick Carlisle’s Mavs reunion all too familiar

DALLAS — For Rick Carlisle, reminders of his life of the past 13 years were constant after he arrived in Dallas late Friday night with his Indiana Pacers.

Sleeping in his own house. Having breakfast with his wife and daughter. Driving to American Airlines Center. Walking into the arena.

“So familiar,” he said.
