Luka Doncic had one of his worst playoff games in his short career, scoring 20 points, 7 boards and 4 assists on terrible shooting percentages {33.3% FG, 30% 3PT}. The Mavericks in general shot horrible as a team with 36% from mid range and 22.9% from beyond the arc, you’re not gonna be this Warriors team shooting below average when you’re already not as good on paper as the team you’re playing. The Warriors have multiple bodies to throw at Doncic which is going to slow him down and wear him out. This series won’t go the distance if Dallas can’t figure out how to stop Golden State from scoring, especially efficiently.
