Mavs Avoid Sweep Against Warriors on Emotional Day in Dalla
Through the first three games of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors were thoroughly winning the defensive battle against the Mavericks.
Through a combination of looks, which included a hedge-and-recover man scheme, a little switching, some box-and-one, and a good deal of zone,
Leave it to Mavs coach Jason Kidd to turn those schemes into a positive:
“The biggest compliment we’ve gotten is that they have to play zone because they can’t guard us 1-on-1.”
Dallas was finally able to take advantage of the Warriors on Tuesday, recording their first win of the series as it heads back to the Bay with the Dubs still up 3–1.
The Mavs’ 119–109 win in Game 4 came on the strength of their outside shooting, as their threes finally started to drop like the rain through the leaky roof of Dallas’s arena.
As Finney-Smith put it after the game: “If we were going to lose today, I wanted to go out shooting.”
