Seems like he should break as the dribble is stopped to make the pass, but I think the dribble was still live and he left the primary defender all alone. Second rep felt like it was better timing.
Maybe that's going to be part of Gaff's growth. Get quality coaching on the fine points so he can better understand how to be more effective in a team defense.
One of the things I'm a little unclear on is whether the Mavs are a finished product. They seem to have gotten better over the playoffs. They're a little hard to evaluate because they happened as a team really quickly.
I suspect one of the things that has gotten better over time is their communication. They're going to really need that in this series.
