Man this was the best defensive performance I can remember from this season. It makes me wonder about DFS if we can play this good without him. I think Iwundu is clearly a better defender than DoDo is decent but overrated. Iwundu's offense is super shaky but then DFS has been sub-average on 3's.
Now the Mavs were fortunate that the Clippers shot so poorly from outside. Part of it was defense but part of it was the Clippers just missing shots. But I loved the defensive intensity. It felt like a playoff game and that's absolutely the type of effort you need on both ends to win a playoff game.
J Rich has arrived. This felt like a turning point. He has been playing better lately but man this was a standout game for him and Maxi both who were making life hard on the Clippers. Luka also really has the ability to raise his defensive game when the guys around him are playing hard on D.
KP wasn't great offensively but had some nice defensive moments. Brunson was really shaky until the fourth quarter when he played much better.
Such an entertaining game.
