Mavs lost because defense in the first three quarters was just criminal. PnR defense and transition defense were non existing. Come on, one screen and Lillard is completely open. And we were lucky that Nurkic looks out of game shape. Center has to be higher and help on the screen, otherwise it is an automatic basket every single time. Defense on Melo was just pathetic - THROW A BIGGER BODY AT HIM!!! Fourth quarter was a combination of unreasonably quick foul calls and some Lillard brilliance. But the way refs were protecting him, it was impossible to stop him.
