I'm a Maxi fan, and I don't have to explain how good he is in D. In this game he did pretty good, but I kinda' expected that. This is what Maxi does when he is healthy.
Green was just one cool customer. Very efficient this game.
Luka of course took over.
Seriously would have gone to Hardy if he hit on more attempts.
I'm voting for Gafford basically because I'm so tired of the Mavs getting bullied in the paint. He kept the Mavs in the game early on, controlled the paint for stretches. The Wizards did a good job in neutralizing him and exploiting him in the third thereby exposing his D, but if not for his contributions early on, the Mavs would have been on a deeper hole to climb out from. Gafford did tie his career best in rebounds, that doesn't happen every game -- so for elevating his game, he gets the Dirkie.
