GAME 57: LAC (27-30) vs. DAL (33-23) | 97-99 loss

[DanSchwartzgan]

It is almost useless. But the one thing it’s good for is figuring out how a team did NOT beat us. They did NOT beat us because of DFS. Mavs won his minutes handily and got completely smoked in the 9 mins that he sat. Wish someone who got to watch the game could tell me why.

Hard to point to any one thing.  Almost all of the time DFS was out, Brunson was the lone PG and some combo of Maxi, Green and Frank were on the floor with him (often all three).  All of them were useless.  Green had 3 steals and played good D, but wasn't good at all offensively.  Something seemed off with Maxi.  He was sleepwalking in stretches.  

We were -14 with DFS out and Brunson as the solo PG.  The Clipper bench has some good defenders and were just noticeably better.
