Good play. Still, have you even noticed him much this game? I haven’t, personally.

Current lineup has the ability to contest 3’s after ball movement. Threes have stopped going in. Charlotte responds by ramping up energy and getting the ball inside, particularly in transition.

My guess is that Gafford comes back in after this timeout. Hopefully, he doesn’t give up a bunch of threes down the stretch.

Pick your poison. Both bigs have weaknesses.

My goodness is some dark sorcerer pushing these layup attempts off of the rim?

I just remembered he played in Charlotte before Dallas. Kind of seems like he’s trying to be the hero today a little too much.

He's missed some wide open 3's that could have been timely hits.

Gafford much more at the level of the screen, worried about ball shooting, but the big slips… Unfortunate.

Gafford‘s rebounding is definitely helping at this point.

If the Mavericks somehow win this game, it will be because LaMelo Ball does not know how to close.

Bad pass from Kyrie. He’s prone to that at times, I have noticed.

Even the decision to manipulate into an iso against Thompson seem out of left field to me, given what had been working for them down the stretch.

Sadly, the Mavericks don’t seem to be able to get out of their own way in this one so I don’t think it will matter.
