MAVS 105, TIMBERWOLVES 111

[Chicagojk]

You can just feel the Mavs offense come to a striking halt when the fourth quarter hits.   It looks like they are trying to run the same offense they do with Luka.   Maybe the fatal flaw is we don't have enough guys who can put pressure on a defense and/or create shots.   With Luka, at least there is a chance he is going to cause teams fits.   But we have seen this offense for years.  It is little off ball movement and limited passing.   As much as I like Jalen, his strength is not breaking down a defense in half court late in games.  It is really unfair to ask him to excel in this.  He should be playing off a top tier creator imo.   The Mavs do their ball handoff at the top of the key and high pick and you just see defenses go ok you beat us.  We challenge you.    When it matters the only shots we can get are three pointers and typically ones that are contested.   I hate the offense.   The three point shooting sucks and is bad but I am more frustrated that we don't get easy baskets in the lane very often.
