Dallas shot lights out, 9/14 from 3 and they played one of the better defensive quarters.
As shots stopped falling (and Giannis got in transition) defense collapsed.
Mavs allowed 109 points on 67% FG in next three
Yikes! Thing is, I don't think they get this corrected this season. Getting more defensive minded players instead of offensive should be the focus. Dallas can out score teams when the shots are falling, but what happens when they stop? You have to have a semblance of a defense.
