MAVS 98, SUNS 105

I don't think it had much to do with the zone defense, I think the result would have been the same had we went to a different defensive scheme. They just caught fire and we couldn't handle it. Luka probably would have helped in that case IMO cause sometimes you just have to match the scoring firepower.

This matches up well with Kidd's analysis of what happened after the game. Basically, they were getting destroyed with what they were doing, so he tried a zone. Then, they got destroyed in the zone, too. Says he is going to take a look at it, and see what he can come up with.

Certainly, there is room for questioning some of the coaching decisions. I don't argue that, and I think the analysis is interesting to pursue. However, my strong impression was that things were falling apart rapidly, and Kidd made some decisions out of desperation. The players were out there missing layups, turning the ball over, and not executing well. I think we should consider the possibility that the Mavs were just out-talented and out-experienced when it came to late-game-style performance. 

Just a thought.
