As to scoring, the Mavs are going to have to put their heads down and drive the lane and try to get foul calls so as to get to the line. This is because the Mavs can't seem to shoot a high enough 3 point percentage lately. That may change if Seth, Burke, Maxi, and DFS can drain threes, but that doesn't appear likely. If the offense bogs down, I need to see Boban getting low position and scoring and drawing fouls.
Boban needs to play 30 minutes in the game 6 regardless of the defensive consequences, and his touches need to be second only to Doncic. Like Gene Simmons' girlfriend, the Mavs got nothing to lose.
