I do just want to say that Brunson did everything in his power to put the Mavs in a position to win for 99% of his time on the court. But the last 2 minutes from him were as follows:
2:58- Fouls Kemba that results in a 4 point play
1:58- Offensive foul on a 3pt attempt after Luka throws it to him with less than 2 seconds left on the shot clock.
55 seconds left- Brunson bad pass-turnover.
46.4 seconds left- Brunson missed 3pt shot.
Then Luka takes over and hits back to back threes to win the game.
I don't want to take away from Brunson's spectacular night, because without him the Mavs lose in a blowout, but I feel this is a constant theme with Brunson. He might have a spectacular night, but when the game is close he always comes up short possession after possession, especially if he's given primary guard duties.
