NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Mavs are strong at home on defense

One thing is clear, the Mavericks are not comfortable with games that reach in excess of 220 points and at their home, they slow the pace down and try to limit the opportunities of opponents at an elite rate, through their special defense. After getting smoked for 120+ points in the first two games, the team did a great job of limiting Suns to below 100, something they did to Jazz repeatedly in the last series.

The Suns shot well, making around 46% of their shots but they did something they usually don’t do; turning the ball over.  The Mavericks achieved great scoring balance, with five scorers getting to at least 14 points. The Mavericks nabbed 12 steals and one thing is for sure, they have been able to contain Chris Paul and his precise play through some bothersome defense.

The best part about the last win was that it was Brunson who took charge of things and Doncic scrapped 26 points which means that if Brunson is in rhythm, the Mavs may be able to turn the series around. The trouble is that the Suns are the best in the league when it comes to maintaining composure and they make adjustments at an amazing rate.
