Agree that a lot is being put on the last minute, which I guess is pretty much the nature of the beast.
As far as the overall reasons why the Mavs lost, there is a lot we could analyze, but it doesn't really seem worth it, given that we're not likely to ever see these lineups again once the COVID spell is over. For a quick take, review the second quarter.
In almost every game there is at least one extended stretch where the offense disappears and things get extremely ugly. I am not sure if this is a fatal flaw or if it is something that can be improved when everyone is healthy. Or if adding a guy like Dragic can help reduce this a little by having another guy who can create a little. My hope is we find out with Dragic. It may help us understand if it is a structural problem or something that can be ironed out moving forward by adding more creators.
