Yup. And even then, LAC were up 20 each of the last 3 games.. including the OT thriller. All with Beverly out, Trez out of shape, and PG being GP.The Mavericks had a historically great offense this year. I think the highest ORTG ever. So it was interesting to see many people cite their performance against the clippers as proof of LA being “overrated” defensively.
No one else left in the tournament has an offense as good as the Mavs. I’m not suprised the clippers defense is dominating this Denver offense.
Drawing the Mavs 1st was probably the best thing to happen to them bc of how they got tested.
