Game 24: Minnesota Timberwolves (18-5) vs. Dallas Mavericks (15-9)| 119-101 loss

[dirkfansince1998]

I think Mavs played well, created a ton of open looks, but shots just didn't fall this time. I think DJJ played excellent defense on Ant and GW on Towns. Reid killed us with his shooting. There is not much you can do shooting 21 % against a team shooting 45 %.

I don't think this technical was so bad as a couple of previous ones. Luka did overreact to a wrong call and ref decided to quickly send a message that he is not willing to tolerate that. I can accept this.

Over the last few games the Mavs have really struggled with stretch bigs. The pick and roll defense is an invitation for any pick&pop big. Seems like a shot that they are willing to give up.
Blazers starting center attempted 10 threes (2/10). Grizzlies JJJ was 6/10 from. Against the Thunder Bertans and Williams combined for 7/8 from 3.
