It´s interesting to see the different gameplans the coaching staff + scouting department come up with.
Against the Rockets the Mavs doubled Harden all game long and basically played a box and one zone against Harden. He was doubled on the catch.
Against the Bucks they tried to play single coverage vs Giannis. They focused on the perimeter shooters and asked DFS and Kleber to limit Giannis (with the occasional help from KP).
Both gameplans worked. Against the Rockets Hardens teammates were unable to take advantage of the additional space. Against the Bucks Giannis dominated but the Mavs succesfully shut down his teammates.
