The Warriors' system and player development is superior to the Mavs. They're able to get the most out of these players by running a real offensive system. The Mavs just want to play 1 on 5 - pass the ball around and shoot threes. It doesn't really prepare a player like Green, Ntilikina, etc. to be able to step up in games like this when the offense needs help.
Of course it´s about talent. Ntilikina and Green literally cannot make any shots that are not catch and shoot.Ntilikina´s 2pt scoring threat is below 40 year old Kidd telephone pole drunk. They barely make any catch and shoot balls. Why would the Warriors care about Ntilikina or Green having the ball in any system? They let them have it for 48 minutes and with the Mavs scoring less than 30 points total.
104 points from Luka/Brunson/DFS/Bullock.
6 points from Bertans in six minutes.
7 points from the rest in 70 minutes.
