It was the first series of the Jason Kidd era where I felt the Mavs were more prepared for game 1 (both tactically and emotionally) than their opponent.
I think having a healthy Luka for a game 1 for a change was the biggest reason the Mavs looked as good as they did.
But you're right, the Mavs looked prepared and came out with focus. I hope to see them carry those same vibes tonight. Especially since Minny is going to be giving it their all.
