That’s a pretty good response. I’m impressed.
But in Maxi’s defense, he doesn’t get a high volume of attempts, and 3-point shooting is inherently streaky. In that same stretch in which Maxi scored 4 points on 1 for 12 shooting from the field (the last 4 games of the season), THJ went 1 for 8 in the first of them and 1 for 9 from 3 in the last. Not trying to say THJ shot just as poorly. He didn’t. Just trying to say those streaks happen. A lot.
And in games 1-3, before his awful streak, Maxi hit 11 of 18 attempts (including 7 of 11 from 3). And in those 3 games the Mavs were +14 with Maxi on the court.
