GAME 3: POR (2-1) @ DAL (2-1) | 119-121 loss

[j0Shi]

Bullets:

• Starting five much better this time. Although the first was a bit up and down, this was the best group so far. Unsurprisingly it featured our best players.
  
• It's a minor thing, but I LOVE Doncic taking these end of quarter prayers. It's a low percentage shot, but it's a shot.
  
• I like THJ sprinting the floor. I think he is a good finisher more than a good  shooter.
  
• Three point shooting will haunt us all season. 13-50 and losing by two is actually decent. Especially when you miss nine free throws as well.
  
• More tiny things that contributed to the loss: Felt like Doncic was forcing his shot a bit today. Reminded my of last year when he could either try by himself or pass to a brick.
  
• CJ and Dame were massive late, which is why I was surpirsed that Wright wasn't getting more playing time.
  
• Brunson with an off game tonight. He was +6, but rarely seen.
  
• Overall this is a 'good' loss I guess. Mavs for strecthes played some great ball against a good team in the West. They adjusted better in the second half, happens. It sucks we blew multiple leads, but I guess that's growing pains for the team. Of course we eventually have to win these type of games, but for now I'm not concerned.
