Great start of the series. I had a feeling Mavs had a lot more reserve than Minny. McDaniels was surprisingly not troubling Luka nearly as much as Mann or Dort. Luka looked like he is saving energy on defense, especially on the rebounds. Throughout the game it felt like Mavs are taking this as a feel out game, but their defense on Minny stars was awesome and they overcame hot shooting of their role players and bad shooting of our own. Kyrie was awesome in the first half and Luka took over in the fourth. PJ and DJJ provided excellent defense again and were ok offensively. Green was bad, looked really indecisive, almost scared. He is not a rookie anymore, he is in his year 4. Should play better. Only 14 bench points (9 of them Lively) to 26 from Minny. Only Hardy was aggresive offensively and he had a good game.
The table is set, all I wanted was one road win out of first two games. Mavs in 6.
