GREAT FINISH TO THE QUARTER.
HAVE to come out strong in the third.

Huge finish to the quarter there.
Mavs need to stay aggressive. Looks like a lot less late clock offense just from the eye test.
25 from Bullock, Din and Maxi is big time too.
Active hands and feet on defense. Just a totally different energy.
Suns obviously have a run or two in them so it’s imperative the offense doesn’t stagnate and the defensive intensity doesn’t wane…and really even ratchets up.

Piggybacking off of this. Mavs need to bring the same energy in the 3rd on defense. Imperative to not let PHX get into any sort of rhythm.
Further I'm still keeping my eye on Dinwiddie. I want him to relentlessly drive to the cup and get to the line. He's hit some great threes so far though so I'm not complaining.

Shocking that Booker isn’t chirping. Clearly he’s an alpha that can talk that talk no matter what the situation is.
This game isn’t anywhere close to over and if a Suns run happens Book will start acting tough. Hopefully Mavs can find another gear and hang on to force game 7…even better would be if they could reverse Games 2 and 5 and just run away from the Suns.

LUKA GREAT READ THERE ON THAT LOB!
Powell has attempted to hurt Luka (albeit unintentionally) twice now.

Keep attacking CP3. Get his 4th early and send him to the bench.
Booker is such a fucking flopper holy fuck.
BRUNSON BIG CHARGE TAKEN GOOD STUFF!!!!

Powell hasn't been totally useless so far and that is a HUGE win.

Brunson should've gotten an and-1 on Booker there. SAME call, but Booker and CP3 get it, Brunson doesn't.

JB gets more contact from Book than CP just did and only one gets called.

CP3 gets the same call again. Absolutely stupid.
Bullock with a -200 IQ foul. Just give the layup why give him an extra point.

That’s the dumbest foul in basketball. Total brain dead play.
This feels like it could be the swing spot of the game. Suns have flopped their way to the bonus with a ton of quarter left. Mavs need efficient offense because the defensive end is going to be tough these last 7 minutes of the 3rd.

Bad decision to try to save that ball. Never do it on defense like that

Does feel that way but Mavs just need 1-2 good offensive possessions to lock back in.

Bullock is really testing my patience right now. Gifting the Suns extra possessions and FTs.
