- They were just tired from their grueling series vs Denver
- The Mavs didn’t do anything to win the game the Wolves just played awful
- The Mavs are guilty of defensive 3 seconds all the time
- Most of the Mavs screens are illegal
- Wolves didn’t execute their game plan at all, in fact it was maybe their worst execution all season
- Shooting 49 threes wasn’t because the Mavs forced them to it was because they allowed them to…and they had at least 10 more great looks they could have taken too
I think that about sums it up
It's aggravating but I give the Wolves credit for something important.
There was not a single dirty play against Luka in the entire game. No tripping him up from behind or pulling him down on screens. No stepping on his ankle or jumping on his back. The Thunder and especially the Clippers behaved very differently. The Wolves can fail to give credit if they like as long as they play fairly.
