Three way Dirkie:
Jalen "big nuts" Brunson
Maxi "-10 first half +/-" Kleber
God "clamps" King
There is no other acceptable answer.

Damn. That was a nice win. We were literally down to five guys and all five killed it in the 4th quarter.

What a damn gutty effort all around. I don’t know what the rest of the series holds but these guys were an absolute joy to watch tonight.

Brunson with 41. Dirk-ie worthy no doubt.

Just so much heart. Really proud of this team. There is something there with this team. They probably can't win four without Luka, but they were all heart tonight. Just need that one really good move and some continued development internally.

Kleber is finally back. My goodness this dude had no confidence in his shot for a long time now.
He can really exploit Gobert now if he keeps this going. Just be decent and team will be okay.

Yep, With Luka it will increase this as well. Spread the floor and go to the rim and make Gobert commit. If he goes for the block have Maxi, DFS and others in the corner. Rinse and repeat. Gobert is a big factor at the rim and the Mavs won't shoot this way all the time but that is the plan. Luka being bigger really makes Utah's go into fits.

Heroic awesome victory. Mavs got a huge shooting night, exactly what was needed. Bullock and DFS were true 3-D guys again, difference from game 1 of course phenomenal Brunson and Maxi. This win was huge for the series. Now lets hope Luka is back for next game.
This game also showed exactly why Gobert is not worth 40 mil and especially not worth paying significant assets for the privilige to pay him that for next four years. You just put five shooters on the floor and he is cooked. Has no tools to punish them on the other side. Happens every year in the playoffs.

This has to be extra defeating for Utah, given who Dallas was missing.

This is the detail that did KP in here, and why I’m starting to lean towards the “no” camp concerning Gobert.

Bertans got into with Clarkson. I don't remember Clarkson doing much after that. Conley didn't make a shot all game.

Yeah Gobert is not the answer, especially at age 30. Go get Mo Bamba or any younger center with a pulse for cheaper

This isn't even hyperbole. This was an incredible win.
