The play is under review. The box-and-one zone that Slater correctly identified the Warriors switching to hasn't been terribly effective, and Dallas has simply swung the ball around until it finds an open 3. The energy in the AAC isn't great right now for Dallas fans. Hate to be dramatic about it, but ... hey ... it is what it is. Having worked with Kevin Harlan for years at TNT, one of the great things he does, and just did again, is shout out the people that work behind the scenes on the remote crew for games. Any chance this miracle season continues better start now. Golden State has sucked the life out of this crowd — and there's still 9:32 left in the game. It reminded me: this is why players jump to block 3s after the whistle. Dallas isn't out of this, but right now, that absurd dunk feels like it killed any momentum the Mavericks had to make a comeback. •2h ago •2h ago •2h ago

“We got to take one game at a time.”. .Kidd, of course, grew up in the Bay Area and would love a trip back to his home for a Game 5. It’s only four teams (remaining in the playoffs). He’s done a lot for this team from the beginning of the season to where we are today, and he still has a lot to do, but a lot to learn. The only way we get back to the Bay is by winning (Game 4). We’re not worried about the flight (to San Francisco for a possible Game 5). We’ve got to protect home.” We’ve said that from Game 1 (in the opening round of the playoffs) against Utah. We’ll learn from this loss and we’ll be better the next time, and we were.”. . So how does Kidd’s coaching style mix with Doncic? “He’s a relaxed young man (and) I’m relaxed,” Kidd said. I think if we continue to do that and get better at that, it’s something that we can really grow from and really continue to get better at, but that’s probably the biggest takeaway, at least for me. “We played great defense to make them miss shots (in Game 3), but they had a lot of second-chance opportunities (and) they’re beating us to 50/50 balls,” Brunson said. “We just got to extend it for a little more. “I think that’s something we have to take a step back when this is all over and whenever we’re done and kind of review the season at that point. In comparing getting past the Suns to trying to get past the Warriors, Powell said: “It’s a different game, different scenario, different team. “We got to be more aggressive, we’ve got to be physical. “And I said that last night, this is a great journey for us to go through. “We just got to play all-out,” Brunson said.
