Mavs end of game situations need serious improvement.
I had more confidence in Maxi taking the 3 when his already had success, than in Luka taking it himself late in the game when he had better execution near the basket. But yes, I agree they should have hold the possession until they got the best look at the basket.
I noticed Suns, with Paul, really likes to slow the last possessions to see what's the best high percentage shot. Unlike Mavs, we tend to hurry the ball and go for the low-percentage, uncharacteristic shots.
