This is everything for the Mavs tonight.
In the 7 playoff wins they have allowed only 105.0 pts/100 possessions. In the 5 losses they have allowed 120.7 pts/100 possessions.
If the Mavs bring the defensive energy, hustle, effort, and fight tonight then they can win. If they do not then it will be over.
The problem? They have brought the D they have needed only once on the road in the playoffs. In Utah in game 6, they held UTA to 104.6 pts/100 possessions.
The hope? They did it in a closeout game on the road in UTA and got the win.
This post aged well.

This one not as much.
