Who was the player of the game who elevated his game to help the team win?
Dorian. He was so good KD will go on a burner account Twitter rant later.
Before one of you votes for Powell again.
39 minutes with DFS +23
9 minutes without DFS -19
Of course too late. Somebody already did.
This one is really tough, a real team victory. Everyone stepped up big on a slightly off night from Luka. DFS was great, Powell was great, THJ with the needed shooting, Brunson with some key baskets, everyone else contributed in their time on the floor.
I will go with DFS with Powell close second.
Luka because he was one super hero against two and he didn't get a tech.
Carlisle for benching JR in the 4th quarter...
DFS 17 8 3 +23
Timmy, Brunson, and Powell a little behind him.

I hate complete negatives being on the court...
I saw many plays where DFS was the only player trying to get rebounds...

But you love all of the Mavs!!!!!11!1!1!!!
What a game by DFS. One of the best of his career. He shut down KD in the second half.
Carlisle’s plan for defending KD was amazing, but without DFS out there to execute it (with help, obvs) the plan would’ve been pointless. I think Dodo wins this one by a mile.
What a great game for the entire team though.
DP had a good game but I've got to give my Dirkie to DFS. Several years ago, in my infinite wisdom, I posted that if DFS is your starting small forward then the team is in trouble. I feel no shame in saying I was wrong. DFS has actually improved to the point where he is a pretty good player. If he can keep improving...he will far exceed my past expectations.
Really want to give it to the coach. RC nailed the clutch lineup and the play callling to close out the game was as good as it gets. Really hope that he has a few more money plays in his bag for the playoffs. If that´s not an option DFS gets another
