A Few Thoughts on Mavs 122, Clippers 130

[Mavs2019]

For all the Maxi haters from the game thread.

Game 3 numbers from ESPN:

Kawhi vs Maxi 8/18
Kawhi vs any other Mav 4/5

We certainly can talk about adjustments that give him a little more rest. Maybe some MKG. But there is no way to deny that Maxi is the best available option against Kawhi.

That´s the thing.

Kawhi/PG shot a combined 40% from the field primarily defended 1 on 1 by Kleber/DFS. The rest of the Clippers shot 62%, so all the other Mavs should be ashamed of their defensive efforts.
