Also covered in here: Mavs’ decision to not advance ball out of TO with 11 seconds left for their last shot.
It’s a “down-hill” tactic they’ve used often to give Luka more space to read.
And it’s worked.

Haven’t heard yet and don’t know when we will about time for G6 next Thurs. Mavs vs Jazz shares that night on the sked w/ potential game 6s in Heat vs Hawks, 76ers vs Raptors & Suns vs Pelicans (which would be played in CT zone in NOLA). So those series will influence the timing – 9:46 PM

Luka Doncic on the game-winning miss: “We didn’t really execute it well. I should’ve maybe drive the ball more. I should’ve get a better shot, but it’s tough.”
Luka brought magic, but the often-clutch Mavs wilted when it mattered in Game 4 vs. Jazz: dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… – 9:34 PM

1. The Jazz executed well down the stretch on both ends of the floor, putting them in a position to win.
2. Bogdanovic’s tremendous, 94-foot defense.
3. Jordan Clarkson’s shooting 60% in this series. How?

Both teams played great at times. Both teams were bad at times. Mavs made 4 mistakes in the last 1:00 Doncic foul on Mitchell. The 2 Powell missed FTs. Allowing Mitchell penetration for Gobert dunk. And then too deliberate on the last possession to lead to a less than ideal shot – 7:52 PM

Crazy finish in Utah. Another blown lead for the Jazz and then Doncic hit what felt like a mega dagger but then Utah still pulls out a win in the last 40 seconds. Could be a gigantic win for the Jazz after how bad they have looked.
Series now tied at 2-2. Good news for the Suns. – 7:19 PM

Heck of a time for Dinwiddie to score his first 2 points. Doncic and Brunson out of the game, sportswriter typing junk he has no idea about, Dinwiddie raises up and give Dallas an 81-78 lead after 3 quarters.

The Mavericks aren’t better without Luka Doncic on the floor, but they certainly defer to him offensively the same way the Jazz defer to Rudy Gobert defensively, and they seem to lack some of the same aggressiveness. – 5:16 PM

All that great early shooting by Mavs in Game 1 seems to have disappeared so far. They are getting good looks. Not falling. Utah off to its biggest lead, 29-23, before Green 3-pointer. – 5:16 PM

Maxi Kleber is 12 of his last 16 from three in Games 2 and 3. He was 12 of 64 post all-star break. So if he misses his next 48 three point shots he would shoot the same as he did post all-star break – 1:12 PM

First: Screen shots of available passing lanes is terrible anaylsis.
These are screen shots from the opening 4:45 of the game. None of these eventual shots went in.
I just hope the Jazz pass early in the game today. It impacts the whole texture of the game and the Defense – 12:47 PM

Luka Dončić (calf) will be cleared to play in today in Utah after one last pre-game check, sources say, and with a likely minutes restriction after missing the first three games of the series.

There’s increasing optimism Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic will play vs. Utah in Game 4 today, sources tell ESPN. The plan is that his minutes will be limited in his first game back since suffering a calf strain on April 10. – 12:37 PM

Given lack of news from the NBA to this point, I guess Royce O’Neale got away with his, uh, extracurricular actions.
Or maybe since he mustered 2 points, 4 rebounds and 4 fouls in 32 minutes in Game 3, the Mavs told the NBA, “Nah, we’re good.” – 12:18 PM

A scoring change by those who check these things w/ the NBA has added an assist to Jalen Brunson’s line from G3, giving him 6 (a basket by Dinwiddie in the 3Q w/ an assist that had been mistakenly given to Kleber).
In the last 2 games for Brunson, 72 pts, 11 assts, 1 TO. – 11:14 AM

If Jalen Brunson’s game in G3 wasn’t good enough, @NBA has credited him with an additional assist, making his line 31 pts-6 assists. In the first 3 games he now has 16 assists vs 3 TO – 11:05 AM

Good morning to everyone still looking for updates on Luka Doncic’s calf strain. Jason Kidd will talk pre-Game 4 at 1:45 p.m. Dallas time, and maybe I won’t have to do this much longer. – 10:51 AM

. @Dallas Mavericks PR says that a box score change from Game 3 has given Jalen Brunson an additional assist, giving him 6, along with 31 points and 1 turnover in 35 minutes.
See? Brunson is blossoming in front of our eyes, sometimes w/o even taking the court. – 10:43 AM
