I do think SD is already paying off in that Luka is looking more spry to close games.
So Luka was getting bottled because Lebron was roaming off his man in the 3rd.
Kidd counters by hunting switch to get Lebron on Luka which means there’s no Lebron roaming and other things open up. I like it

Great coaching.
Lakers have shot their wad it appears.
HOW BAD ARE THESE REFS??
THE FACT THE MAVS HAVE TO WASTE THEIR CHALLENGE ON THIS
James shoves Powell, Powell gets called for foul…sure
Obvious OOB on Lakers…jump ball…okay guys
They need Lebron to be relevant so bad. And I say that as a guy that doesn’t hate Lebron the way a lot of folks do.
LUKA WHAT A STEAL!
POWELL WHAT A REBOUND!
LeBron doing his best Dirk impression on defense. Lateral quickness is gone.
Lebron finally airballs a 3.
They held them off, but it was closer than it should have been.
Luka hunting Lebron on defense. Goodness
Rough game for Reggie. I get why he’s out there the way they were hunting SD with Melo.
But you also see on offense those long doubles of Luka with no SD just hit different.
7:23 left on the clock when the Lakers hit 100. Incredible closing defense. Kidd should be coach of the year.
Once again, as has been the case throughout the season, the Mavs upped their energy on D and got themselves back into a game and over the hump. This bodes very well for the playoffs.
DAL gave up only 17 in the 4th.
Luka absolutely decimated them to close the 4th.

Mavs close strong and he has a VERY legit case....as does Luka as MVP.
Having a legit bench is absolutely a huge development for this team.
P.S. KP has still not played a game in WAS....

He's in the convo, I think Bickerstaff is the lead dog. Nobody expected Cleveland to be where they're at. There will be a lot of candidates.
Killerleft was never worried…
