Not a good game at all, but Mavs got the win they desperately needed. Defense didn't seem much better than in previous games, especially in the game start, but that was a lot on Luka who started really bad. They were still killed in PnR and gave up way too many good looks from three. The start was especially bad with offense not humming and defense as bad as ever (miami hitting everything also didn't help). The turning point were a couple of minutes in the second quarter, where Miami started to suddenly double Luka resulting in ball starting to move for the Mavs. I think that got them going.
I hope Mavs will not start to think they did something here and come with even more urgency into next game. Chicago is far from a walkover. With the defense Mavs are playing lately, they will easily score 130 points.
