Mavs at their best when needed a lot. Did their job on the road and got one win. Great game.
Let me first just say that this OKC team is really, really good. They punish every mistake. Every player (other than Giddey) can shoot a three at high percentage, most of them can also put the ball on the floor. SGA is legit. It took an awesome offensive performance to put them away.
Mavs finally got a good shooting night, I think first one in this year playoffs. Loved the adjustments. Less Luka ball early and PJ got it going (we will see game 3 if this was only a one time thing). As expected, Luka overcame all his injuries and showed why he is in MVP conversation. Good shooting, just one TO. PJ stepped up big time and bench (THJ and Green) finally gave us something. Strangely quiet night for Kyrie, took only 8 shots and hit 2. Great hustle on defense though and 11 assists. Centers need to be better on offense, especially Lively.
That Luka knee bleeding is on the left knee, not the right one that is the problem. He had to get a wound late in the season (I remember same bleeding in one of the later games) that just doesn't heal due to constant usage.
Mavs in 6!
