Re: small and big ball
Seems like the level of at the rim domination that KL and PG were exerting in Dallas had become more of a threat than their 3 pt shooting. Seems like throwing the two towers out their for the beginning stretch at least set a tone, and didn't allow the Clips to get in to paint domination mode.
But then later in the game the swings in the Mavs favor came from energy provided by Powell and that seemed to ignite DFS and THJ. Those later game runs weren't really sparked by big ball, and somehow the Clips weren't kiling us in the paint during that time.
So the answer probably isn't either small or big. They'll probably have to do a combo. This series has been such a chess match. I'm excited to see if Rick has kept some cards back to play for this last win.
