This. Up 2. Need to 2 to secure the win and the best shot the Mavs can create is a corner 3 for DFS (32.3% for the season)? Even a KP post up is a better shot in this case.
I like that Luka is trying to play "the right way" but the Mavs have to find a way to adjust. In this case it was about the highest percentage look for 2 points.
Same on defense. If the coach tells them to foul there is no excuse for them not to do it. Maxi had CP3 trapped in the corner and could have easily fouled him to prevent the pass to Booker.
