Great first couple of minutes. Luka looks like the refs are getting to him, although I understand.
Kyrie is starting to heat up. DJJ with a fantastic block out. Maxi with a lob to Green???? How many dunks are we at today?
You're 100% right, but I was curious to see what would've happened if the Mavs zigged when the Thunder zagged.
Odds are it would've been PnR over and over and Mavs would've gotten eaten alive. But who knows?

A big like Gafford (even Gobert) is helpless when he ends up on an island against a player like Williams or SGA. Maxi on the other hand is probably a better perimeter defender than most guards/wings.
First game for Gafford and he is making an impact on the offensive end but defensively this is one of the worst matchups for him. OKC has a stretch big and basically all of their guys can attack of the catch/dribble.
