Mavs needed to take games 1 and 2 just to have a chance in this series. I still think the Clips are in great shape but if the Mavs are going to win somehow, it's going to be in 6 or 7 games.
You can see how small the margin of error is for the Mavs. After 3 games, it requires a hot shooting night/close to 20 threes just to have a chance. Games 1 and 2 still came down to the final minute despite making 17 and 18 threes on good percentages. 20 threes tonight at a 50% rate and still lose by 10.
When the threes go cold (and they will at some point) it's not going to be pretty
