The Mavs were down with 6 minutes left against the Warriors and allowed 7 points the rest of the way on to a win.

The defensive numbers overall have been really great obviously but the most impressive thing to me is when they're doing it. We had a bad 1st quarter against the Warriors and a bad 3rd quarter against the Lakers but this team is showing tons of maturity and resolve by understanding the moments that change and win games. That's a product of not only great coaching, but also experience in meaningful basketball games which the bulk of this roster has gained together over the last few years.
