That’s a boost for the Mavs’ rebounding and frontcourt defense again.

It’s just one game, so it won’t get blown out of proportion, but Steve Kerr should have left the Warriors’ second unit on the floor. Especially up 3-0 going home, you reward that group with an opportunity to close that game out. – 11:34 PM

The Mavericks lead is down to eight with 3:22 left. Interesting decision for Steve Kerr coming. This second unit is riding a confidence high. Sliced the lead from 29 to eight. But this is now in gettable range for Curry/starters. Looks like Kerr is staying with bench unit. – 11:27 PM
